Inorganic
500
This is a photo aluminum. There is some reflection. What physical property does this show?
Luster
500
Temperature can affect the density of water.
True or False
Bonus: Why?
The molecules move faster and spread our when heated. Mass stays the same but Volume gets larger. This results in a decreased density with colder temperatures. This is why ice floats.
