What word describes when water is attracted to other substances?

• cohesion
• adhesion
• capillary action
• surface tension

Why can water have no net charge but have slight charges in different parts of the molecule?

• The oxygen end is slightly negative and the hydrogen end is slightly positive
• The hydrogen end is slightly negative and the oxygen end is slightly positive
• The hydrogen and oxygen ends change in polarity
• Because it is hydrophobic

Attractions between water molecules are called

• Covalent bonds
• Ionic bonds
• Polar bonds
• Hydrogen bonds

The attraction that causes water and other liquids to form drops on thin films is called ________________. This is also water’s ability to be attracted to other water molecules.

• adhesion
• capillary action
• cohesion
• surface tension

Tendency of molecules of the same kind to stick to one another

• cohesion

• adhesion

• solution

• polar molecule

Why does ice float?

• As water freezes, it expands and its density decreases.
• As water freezes, it takes up more hydrogen from the atmosphere, causing it to have a greater buoyancy.
• As water freezes, air becomes trapped between the hydrogen bonds of water molecules.
• As water freezes, it takes up more oxygen from the atmosphere, causing it to have a greater buoyancy.

A molecule with electrically charged areas is called a _______________.

• magnet
• polar molecule
• solution
• electrical molecule
