Match the type of bond to its characteristic.

• strong bond

• Inside a water molecule between its H and O

• James Bond

• Hydrogen bond

• weak bond

• British secret agent

• Hydrogen bond

• Holds different water molecules to each other

• Covalent bond

• Covalent bond

The fact that ice is ​ (a)   than liquid water is important to protect ​ (b)   in ponds and lakes. The ​ (c)   /bottom zone plants & animals can stay alive. The ice forms an ​ (d)   layer so the lake doesn't completely freeze.

Water has a high ​ (a)   . This means that a lot of ​ (b)   must be applied before water will change ​ (c)   . So, water provides a​ (d)   environment that allows organisms to slowly adjust to temperature changes. Also, sea water moderates nearby​ (e)   .

• thermal energy
• temperature
• stable
• land temperatures

Match the densities

• .9 g/L

• solid water (ice)

• 1 g/L

• gaseous water (vapor)

• .02 g/L

• liquid water

Answer explanation

gas is the least dense (so it rises)

solid is less dense than liquid (so ice floats on water)
