1.

How many elements made the water molecule?

a)

2.5

b)

3

c)

2

d)

4

2.

Why do we say that water is a polar molecule?

a)

Because is from the North Pole, so is polar

b)

The Oxygen side of the molecule is slightly negative, and the Hydrogen part is slightly positive

c)

Polarity refers to the same charges that repel

d)

The electrons are positive and the protons are negative

3.

What is the charge of a proton and where is located in the atom?

a)

Negative, around the nucleus of the atom

b)

Positive and is part of the nucleus of the atom

c)

Negative is inside the nucleus of the atom

d)

Positive, around the nucleus of the atom

4.

It is important to understand that Oxygen in the water molecule gets more electrons (-), and hydrogen gets less electrons so it is (+). In one word this refers to what property of water?:

a)

Negativity

b)

Positivism

c)

Polarity

d)

Neutrality

5.

What is a covalent bond?

a)

Covalent means that the electrons are shared between 2 or more atoms

b)

Covalent means that the water molecule is ionic

c)

Covalent means that a compound is neutral

6.

What is the name of the bond (or attraction) of one water molecule to another and is responsible for the water surface tension?

a)

Covalent bond

b)

Adhesion

c)

Hydrogen bond

d)

Cohesion

7.

What is cohesion?


Choose all the answers you think are right

a)

Union or close relationship between people or things

b)

The union between the water molecules, due to the polarity of the water molecules

c)

when water molecules stick to each other

d)

When water molecules adhere to other substances

8.

EXPERIMENT:


The hydrogen bonds between millions of water molecules create the surface tension. Some insects and objects kind of float, do not break the water surface tension, others just sink.


1.Take a glass and fill it with water

2. Take at least 5 paper clips.

3. Try to make the paper clip float, if you can...

You only have 5 attempts.

EXPLAIN: Why the paper clips sink or float?


Advice: put the paper clip gently over the water
