When most liquids are frozen, the molecules get closer together. In water, however, hydrogen bonds cause individual water molecules to remain farther apart. Which of the following properties of water does this best explain?Water is colorless and odorless.Water is an excellent solvent.Ice is less dense than liquid water.Ice melts at 0 degrees Celsius.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The correct answer is - ice is less dense than liquid water.

Explanation:

In most of the liquid when they get freeze their molecules come closer to each other, however, in the case of the water the molecules come closer to form a crystalline lattice structure with low energy.

But when it forms crystal the water molecules are pushed apart farther as they have hydrogen bond in them. It causes the property of denser water than ice.

Thus, the correct answer is - ice is less dense than water.
Answer 2
Answer: ice is less dense than liquid water.

this is because the particles are further apart (due to hydrogen bonding), so in the same volume there are LESS particles in ice than there is in the same volume of water.

Answer: All of the mentioned Scientist made considerable contributions to understanding the DNA molecule in the order:

Explanation: 1.Fredrick Griffith

2. Avery, McCarty and MacLeod

3.Chargaff

4.Hershey and Chase

5.Watson and Crick

Answer:

Griffith, Chargaff, Avery Mc Carty and MacLeod, Hershey and Chase, Watson  and Crick,

Explanation:

Avery, McCarty and MacLeod- their famous experiment, an experimental demonstration of DNA was presented in 1944

Griffith: born in 1877. In 1928 he reported his first observation of transforming principle in bacteria.

Hershey and Chase: They conducted series of experiments in 1952 to confirm that DNA is a genetic material

Watson and Crick: Crick was born in 1916 and Watson in 1928. Their discovery of DNA as double helix structure was made in 1953

Chargaff was born in 1905. He developed two rules that led to the discocery of DNA as double helix structure
