Which of the following is an example of COHESION?
water sticking to water
water sticking to glass
oil sticking to plastic
hydrogen sticking to oxygen
Water is polar. What does that mean?
it is a molecule with opposite charges on opposite ends
it is a molecule with no charge
it is a molecule with identical charges on opposite ends
it is a molecule with too many protons
Water sticks well to many materials. What term relates to this property of water?
cohesion
adhesion
density
surface tension
Why does ice float?
water expands when it freezes, making ice less dense than water
water compacts when it freezes, making ice more dense than water
hydrogen bonds in water push the ice to the surface
ice is afraid of water, and avoids it
Which of the following is the correct molecular structure for water, H2O?
Water striders can walk across the surface of calm water. Their feet push the surface of the water down slightly, but they do not break the surface. Why?
The insects are light enough so they do not break the hydrogen bonds holding the water molecules together
The insects actually use their wings to hover slightly above the water’s surface and they only skim it with their feet.
The insect’s feet are non-polar, so they are repelled by the polar water molecules and are pushed away from the water’s surface.
The insects are small enough to see the individual water molecules, so they are able to step carefully from one molecule to the next
