What property of water allows it to be such a versatile solvent that it is often called the "universal solvent?"

• Purity
• Polarity and high surface tension
• High heat capacity
• Expansion upon freezing

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

why does water have a high surface tension

• London dispersion forces between water molecules
• Hydrogen bonds between molecules
• strong covalent bonds in water molecules
• high kinetic energy of molecules

why is ice less dense

• hydrogen bonds in ice creates a less dense hexagonal structure 
• hydrogen bonds in ice creates a more dense hexagonal structure 
• hydrogen bonds in water are strong forces that dont let the water move
• water molecules move too fast to get into an arrangement in ice

why is water the “universal solvent

• it can only dissolves a few solutes
• it dissolves many solutes
• it can dissolve the most amount of solutes
• it can not dissolve polar solutes

Attractions between water molecules are called

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