Answer:

A) The attractions between the water molecules weaken.

Explanation:

During melting, The attractions between the water molecules weaken. The kinetic energy or "moving energy" increases as the particles are moving more. As the ice melts into liquid water, the molecules are still attracted to each other, but less than in the solid state.

Not much.

Ice is only water, when the molecules are submitted to low temeperatures and have formed a crystalline arrangement of low density. In ice, the molecules arange themselves in hexagons with hydrogen bonds binfing each molecule.

When ice melts it turnes into water and the molecules leave the crystalline shape and come back to their normal density. In water, not all molecules are binded forming short and irregular lines.

→ In the image below, you can see the arrangement of ice and water.

a certain metal hydroxide, m(oh)2, contains 32.8% oxygen by mass. what is the identity of the metal m?
Leno4ka [110]

Total mass = x

It would be: x*32.38/100 = 32

x = 3200/32.38 = 97.56

Atomic mass of (OH)2 = 34

So, remaining mass = 97.56-34 = 63.56

which is approximately equal to mass of copper

So, we can say m is copper here, and formula of the compound would be       Cu(OH)2
