Which statement best describes the position of a coastal area during a low tide?
A. It is on a side of Earth that is perpendicular to the Moon.
B. It is on the part of Earth that is experiencing nighttime.

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
