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

• adhesion

• capillary action

• cohesion

• surface tension

molecule in which opposite ends have opposite electric charges

• cohesion
• polar molecule
• hydrogen bond
• solution

The fact that ice floats on liquid water is due to the fact that water's solid is ___________ than it's liquid form

• less polar

• It requires more energy to change temperature

What property of water allows water to flow against gravity?

• Polarity

• Cohesion

• Capillary Action

• Adhesion

Refer to the picture of water sticking to a leaf; this is occurring because of:

• Adhesion

• Cohesion

The elements of a water molecule are held together by which type of bond?

• hydrogen bond

• disulfide bridge

• covalent bond

• ionic bond

What is a polar molecule?

• a molecule with opposite charges at opposite ends

• a molecule with no charge

• a molecule with identical charges at opposite ends

• a molecule with an unequal number of protons and electrons

A insect like 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)

• low surface tension of water
