Hydrogen bond. Is the answer.
Vitek1552 [10]2 years ago

Answer: Hydrogen bond.

Explanation: Water is a polar covalent molecule in which two hydrogen atoms are bonded to central oxygen atom via single covalent bonds. So, metallic, nonpolar covalent or ionic choices are not correct. The only correct choice is hydrogen.

Hydrogen bonding is present in ice as we know that hydrogen bonding takes place when hydrogen is bonded to the more electron negative atoms(F, O or N). Density of ice decreases as the molecules are farther from each other due to the presence of hydrogen bonding. This hydrogen bonding breaks when ice melts to water and the molecules comes closer.

Where does regional metamorphism usually occur ?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Regional metamorphic rocks form from other rocks (protoliths) by changes in mineralogy and texture in response to changing physical conditions (temperature, lithostatic pressure, and, in most cases, shear stress). Regional metamorphism occurs over broad areas in the lithosphere, possibly influenced by the heat supply. Regional metamorphic rock results from regional metamorphism and usually develops a flaky texture.  These changes are essentially solid-state reactions, but very often a fluid phase is present, either participating in the reaction or as a reaction medium. Many regional metamorphic rocks have a chemical composition that is very similar to that of their sedimentary or igneous precursors, with the exception of removal or addition of volatiles (mainly H2O and CO2). This type of behavior is termed isochemical metamorphism. Metamorphism may also take place as a result of a change in chemical environment; this may occur by transport of elements between chemically contrasting rock types (e.g., formation of calc-silicate minerals at a quartzite–marble contact) or by circulation of fluids that dissolve some substances and precipitate others. This process of significant chemical change during metamorphism is known as allo-chemical metamorphism or metasomatism, and rocks formed in this manner are metasomatic rocks. Metasomatism is, however, mostly of local significance, and the total volume of metasomatic rocks in regional metamorphic terranes is rather minor. The distinction between metasomatism and is chemical metamorphism is also a matter of scale. On the scale of individual grains, mass transport takes place during all phase transformations; on the scale of a thin section, it is probably the rule for regional metamorphism; on the scale of a hand (sized) specimen, it can be observed frequently; and on a larger scale, it is the exception.

Hope this Helps!

A plateau is a flat, elevated landform that rises sharply above the surrounding area on at least one side. Plateaus occur on every continent and take up a third of the Earths land. They are one of the four major landforms, along with mountains, plains, and hills.

The type of compound that is most likely to contain a covalent bond is ________.
max2010maxim [7]
The type of substance that is most likely to contain a covalent bond is ONE THAT IS COMPOSED OF ONLY NON METALS.
Covalent bond is a type of chemical bond in which electron pairs are shared among the participating elements in order to achieve the octet form. Covalent bond is usually found among non metals.

How many gallons of 80% antifreeze solution must be mixed with 60 gallons of 20% antifreeze to get a mixture that is 70% antifre
Anarel [89]
Let A be the 80% solution and B be the 20% solution and P be the produce solution of 70%. Va and Vb and Vp are the volumes of A and B and P respectively.
Va + 60 = Vp
0.7Vp = 0.8Va + 0.2(60)
Substituting the value of Vp from the first equation:
0.7(Va + 60) = 0.8Va + 12
30 = 0.1Va
Va = 300 gallons
