Which of the following best describes a double-replacement reaction?
a. one compound splits up, forming two or more elements or new compounds.
b. atoms in one compound switch places with atoms in another compound.
c. a lone element takes the place of a different element in a compound.
d. two elements join together to form a new compound.

hloride, what is the mass of calcium in

explanation:

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.
