Properties of Water Quiz

______________ bonds hold hydrogen and oxygen atoms together within a water molecule.

• Ionic

• Covalent

• Metallic

• Hydrogen

______________ bonds are attractive forces between separate water molecules.

• Ionic

1. Draw hydrogen bonding occurring between several molecules of water (at least 2 - 3). 

2. Be sure to include hydrogen and oxygen atoms within each water molecule, positive (+) and negative (-) charges on the proper ends of each water molecule, and dotted lines representing hydrogen bonds.

Match the following properties of water with their roles in plant nutrient transport.

• Allows water to cling to plant tissues, facilitating movement.

• Cohesion

• Combines forces to enable efficient nutrient transport.

• Both cohesion and adhesion

• Helps water molecules stick together, aiding in upward transport.

• Adhesion

• Not involved in nutrient transport.

• Neither cohesion nor adhesion

Why is ice less dense than liquid water?

• Because of its high specific heat

• Due to its polarity

• Because of the structure of its molecules

• Due to its high density
