Water Properties Quiz Practice

Bonds between multiple water molecules are called ____________.

• Hydrogen Bonds

• Covalent Bonds

• Ionic Bonds

• Water Bonds

Bonds that hold a water molecule together are called ____________.

• Covalent Bonds

• Ionic Bonds

• Hydrogen Bonds

• Water Bonds

There are partial charges within a water molecule which cause water to have special properties. This makes water a ________ molecule.

• Polar

• Nonpolar

• Hydrophobic

• Ionic

When water rises up a thin straw or moves up a tree from the roots to the leaves, it is called _____________.

• Capillary Action

• Surface Tension

• Heat of Vaporization

• Density of Water

Very light insects can sit on top of water because of

• Water's High Heat of Vaporization

• Surface Tension

• Water's High Specific Heat

• Capillary Action

When it rains, water will stick to your clothes and get them wet. What property is this an example of?

• Cohesion

• Adhesion

• High Specific Heat Capacity

• Surface Tension

What property allows water molecules to stick to each other to form drops?

• Cohesion

• Adhesion

• Surface Tension

• Capillary Action

Why is it important that water has a high heat of vaporization and high specific heat capacity?

• If they were lower, water would change temperatures and evaporate much faster.

• If they were lower, there would be too much water on the Earth.

• The properties allow for the rapid change of temperature and vaporization of water.

• These properties allow water to freeze at high temperatures.

What is adhesion?

• Water's ability to stick to itself
• Water's ability to stick to other substances
• The strength of the cohesion of all the water molecules combined
• Tape, glue and other adhesives
