Exercise 3

Wrong Again. For each of the following false statements, change the statement to make it true.
(a)Hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon are the elements that most readily form strong multiple bonds.
(b)Water has a higher specific heat than most other liquids because of its low molecular weight.
(c)Oil droplets in water coalesce to form a separate phase because of the strong attraction of hydrophobic molecules for each other.
(d)In a hydrogen bond, electrons are shared between a hydrogen atom and two neighboring electronegative atoms.
(e)Biological membranes are called selectively permeable because large polar molecules and ions can never pass through them.
