water properties quiz

What word describes when water is attracted to other substances?

• cohesion
• adhesion
• capillary action
• surface tension

Why can water have no net charge but have slight charges in different parts of the molecule?

• The oxygen end is slightly negative and the hydrogen end is slightly positive
• The hydrogen end is slightly negative and the oxygen end is slightly positive
• The hydrogen and oxygen ends change in polarity
• Because it is hydrophobic

Describe CAPILLARY ACTION.

• Measure of how difficult it is to break the surface of a liquid.

• Water molecules climbing up against the force of gravity.

• Water molecules attracted to other substances.

• Water molecules dissolving many substances because of its polarity.

A water strider can skate along the top of a pond because:

• covalent bonds result in water cohesion
• hydrogen bonds result in water cohesion (surface tension)
• water striders have adapted to take advantage of water cohesion
• low surface tension of water
