Juanita drew a venn diagram to compare reproduction in sponges and cnidarians. which label belongs in the area marked x?
the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.
a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.
b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.
c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.
e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
your answer is a. the enthalpy of formation for a pure element in its standard state is always positive.
