Which of these statements about water is true?
a. its atoms share electrons equally.
b. it can dissolve all known substances.
c. its molecules are farther apart in the solid state than in the liquid state.
d. it has a lower specific heat than nearly all known metals.

C. Its molecules are farther apart in the solid state than in the liquid state.

Explanation:

Water is composed of 2 H atoms and 1 O atom. The molecular formula for water is H2O.

A. False

Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, as a result the electron pair is pulled closer to O.

B. False

Water is a polar solvent and therefore it will dissolve only polar molecules. Organic compounds like hydrocarbons are non-polar and will not dissolve in water

C. True

In the solid state i.e. in ice the hydrogen bonds are oriented such that the H2O molecules get pushed apart which also makes ice to have a lower density than water

D. False

Water has the highest specific heat value of 4.18 J/g C

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.

if it's not useful, feel free to report for mistake in answer.

you did not give any options thus this is the best answer i can give to you with this little information you have given

> they are both natural and not man made

> they can be tracked and predicted by the right tools
