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.

Do wind up clocks need batteries? -like the non wired ones.

Sphinxa [80]

No, why? Cause if you're winding up the clock it's basically doing what it needs to do. So there's no need for batteries.. I hope my sad sentence make sense :p

Salts are which part of an aqueous solution?

masha68 [24]

Explanation:

Salts are the solutes in an aqueous solution. An aqueous solution is solution whose solvent water.

To form a solution,a solute must be dissolved in a solvent.
For aqueous solutions, the solvent which is the dissolving medium is made up of water.
The solute is the substance that is dissolved in it.
Salts for example can be a solute in an aqueous solution.
A salt is generally an ionic compound consisting of positive ions such as metallic, ammonium ans complex ions and negative ions such as acid radicals and complex ions.

As the water molecules re-freeze, what happens to the salt ions that are mixed in with the water?

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since salt is composed of two ions Na+ and Cl- it will attract to the opposite poles of the water and form a ion-dipole bond. This will cause the phenomenon freezing point depression where as the name states it will take a lower tempertature to freeze it. So instead of freezing at 0 degrees c it will freeze at a negative 2 or so on.
