why are rain and sea ice composed of freshwater?
chlorine ion must be ionic bond to sodium to form salt, and if sodium is available, salt will be in ice and in rain
the statement is false because both rainwater and sea ice have salt
rain takes on the ions of the surrounding atmosphere, and ice takes on the ions of the surrounding water
evaporating water does not carry salt ions, and freezing water expels salt ions
When water evaporates to form clouds for rain, salts are left behind as only water molecules can turn into vapor. When seawater freezes to form sea - ice, the salt ions are expelled from the ice - forming lattice structure.
