Do question 3 and if you can do 4 too please and please make your handwriting clear
dre listed in numerical order by atomic number. phe vertical columns (pops) of the periodic table are arranged such that all its elements have the same number of valence electrons. 2. Water is made of two elements, hydrogen, and oxygen. What possible elements could substitute for each of those elements? The oxygen can be substituted by the sulfur. Hence, H,0 can be replaced by the H,S. 3. Of these, which combination of elements do we think would make a compound most similar to water and why? WHAT PROPERTIES SHOULD WE LOOK FOR? 4. What compounds are we investigating? 5. What are the properties of water that make it important for life? The substances that we are investigating need to have similar properties if they are to be good substitutes for water. Property: Why it is Important for Life: Surface tension Boiling and freezing Due to the presence of Hydrogen bonds in water molecules. It points requires more energy to break its hydrogen bond. Thus possess a high boiling point (100c). This is important for aquatic species and to the environment also.if water is easily boiled or freeze, then any changes in environment would affect the water bodies and aquatic aquaculture, making it difficult for living. Polar molecules
