Which side of the water molecule has a slightly positive charge?

• Oxygen

• Hydrogen

• It's all positive

• It's all negative

True or False: Ice is Less Dense than Water

• True

• False

What is Cohesion?

• Water molecules ability to stick to each other

• Water molecules ability to stick to other surfaces

• Water molecules ability to conduct electricity

• Water molecules ability to melt

What is Adhesion?

• Water molecules ability to stick to each other

• Water molecules ability to stick to other surfaces

• Water molecules ability to conduct electricity

• Water molecules ability to melt

What is the movement of water within the spaces of a porous material due to the forces of adhesion, cohesion, and surface tension

• Malleability

• Conductivity

• Freezing Point

• Capillary Action

Attractions between water molecules are called ....

• Covalent bonds

• Ionic bonds

• Polar bonds

• Hydrogen bonds

A molecule in which opposite ends have opposite electric charges is called .....

• cohesion
• polar molecule
• hydrogen bond
• solution

Answer explanation

It is a polar molecule because of the unequal sharing of electrons creating a slightly negative pole and a slightly positive pole in the same molecule.

Water is a universal solvent because...

• it can be found anywhere

• it freezes when it gets cold

• it floats when frozen

• it dissolves most substances

Answer explanation

A solvent is a liquid that allows other substances to dissolve into it. Remember, most chemical reactions happen in solution (dissolved in a liquid).

Which characteristic of water will allow a paperclip to remain floating on the surface of water?

• adhesion

• surface tension

• solvent properties

• non-polar

Answer explanation

Surface tension is where the force of the hydrogen bonds push up supporting the weight of the paper clip. As soon as the hydrogen bonds are broken, the paperclip will sink.
