Water beads up on the surface of a penny because of what property?

• Adhesion
• High Surface Tension
• Universal Solvent
• Changes in Density

When water and other liquids stick together to form drops or thin films called ________________.

• adhesion

• capillary action

• cohesion

• surface tension

Why does ice float?

• As water freezes, it expands and its density decreases.
• As water freezes, it takes up more hydrogen from the atmosphere, causing it to have a greater buoyancy.
• As water freezes, air becomes trapped between the hydrogen bonds of water molecules.
• As water freezes, it takes up more oxygen from the atmosphere, causing it to have a greater buoyancy.
