Question

Which of the following is NOT true about water?

a.greatest dissolving power of any common liquid

b.only natural substance that occurs as a solid, liquid, and gas on Earth's surface

c.solid phase is denser than liquid phase

d.unusually high melting and boiling point

Answer 1

I want to say A or D

Why?
Because the solid form of water is ice and it's denser than water so that's why it floats. Water is a natural substance that occurs as a solid, a liquid and a gas.

I'm thinking A. because water can dissolve many wonders of this world but it dissolves at a higher rate like starch to water

I'm thinking D. because it does have semi high melting points and a high boiling point but I'm not too sure on either
But it could be a trick question since water doesn't melt but it's ice form does

My confirm answer will be that D. is not true about water


Hope this helped
