Explanation

Water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds,

It is a type of strong intermolecular force

Where the slightly positive hydrogen of one molecule attracts the slightly negative oxygen of another, creating a "sticky" network that gives water unique properties like surface tension.

Explanation

• Only about 2.5% or 0.025 (3%) of the water on Earth is freshwater, which is vital for human consumption, agriculture, and ecosystem health.
• The remaining 97.5% (97%) is saltwater, found in oceans, seas, and salt lakes.

Explanation

• Water (H₂O) is a polar solvent due to its asymmetrical molecular structure.
• It results in a slightly positive charge on the hydrogen atoms.
• A slightly negative charge on the oxygen atom.

Explanation

• Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
• Proteins are formed when amino acids join together by peptide bonds.
• Proteins are essential for growth, repair, and body functions.
• There are 20 standard amino acids used to make proteins.

Explanation

• Aeroplanes fly in the troposphere.
• It is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere.
• It extending up to about 12 km (7.5 miles) above the Earth's surface.
• The troposphere is where weather occurs, and it's the layer where aircraft operate.
• It typically cruising at altitudes between 30,000 to 40,000 feet (9,100 to 12,200 meters).

Additional information:

• Stratosphere: Contains the ozone layer.
• Mesosphere: Most meteors burn up here.
• Thermosphere: Includes much of the ionosphere and auroras.
