The bonds formed 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

molecule in which opposite ends have opposite electric charges

• cohesion
• polar molecule
• hydrogen bond
• solution

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
