Water has a high heat capacity. this property allows which of the following? select one: a. solid ice to float on liquid water b. water to store large amounts of heat energy c. liquid water to remain in higher temperatures d. water to be a liquid across a wide temperature range

b. Water to store large amounts of heat energy

Explanation:

The high heat capacity of the water is the property of water which is caused by the hydrogen bonding in between the molecules of water. When the heat energy is absorbed, these bonds between the molecules are broken and the water molecules move freely.

Thus, water store a large amount of heat energy which corresponds to high heat capacity.

the electronic configuration of an atom with eight electrons is 1s²2s²2p⁴. the orbital diagrams are shown in the figure.

as per the hunds rule:

1. electrons tend to avoid being in the same orbital as per as practicable.

2. electrons in different orbitals of the same energy will have their spin parallel.

this can be illustrated from the multiplicity of the orbitals of the atom. as there are four electrons in the p orbital and p orbital has 3 sub-shells. the electrons can be fed in different ways as shown in the figure but the correct orbital diagram will be as per the hunds rule.
