Please do question 3 if you can do 4 that will be awesome
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: Water is called the universal solvent because many substances dissolve in water than any other solvent. This is due to the polarity of water molecules. Universal solvent Boiling and freezing Due to the presence of Hydrogen bonds in water molecules. It requires more energy to break its hydrogen bond. Thus possess a high boiling point (100c). This is important for aquatic species and to points the environment also.if water is easily boiled or freeze, then any Hin and aouatic
