Which of the following is an example of COHESION?

• water sticking to water

• water sticking to glass

• oil sticking to plastic

• hydrogen sticking to oxygen

What is the correct chemical formula for water?

• H₂O

• HO₂

• H₂O₂

• ₂H₁O

Water is polar. What does that mean?

• it is a molecule with opposite charges on opposite ends

• it is a molecule with no charge

• it is a molecule with identical charges on opposite ends

• it is a molecule with too many protons

Water sticks well to many materials. What term relates to this property of water?

• cohesion

• adhesion

• density

• surface tension

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

• covalent bonds result in water cohesion (surface tension)

• hydrogen bonds result in water cohesion (surface tension)

• water striders have adapted to take advantage of water cohesion

• water striders are afraid of water and avoid it

Why does ice float?

• water expands when it freezes, making ice less dense than water

• water compacts when it freezes, making ice more dense than water

• hydrogen bonds in water push the ice to the surface

• ice is afraid of water, and avoids it

Water is a universal solvent because it...

• It can be found anywhere
• It freezes when it gets cold
• floats when frozen
• Dissolves most substances

The tightness across the surface of water that enables paper clips to float is ____________.

• adhesion
• capillary action
• surface tension
• polarity

Water is a ___________ molecule due to it having a positive AND negative end.

What two elements make up water?

• Helium and Oxygen

• Hydrogen and Oxygen

• Helium and Carbon

• Oxygen and Carbon
