- 1. Multiple ChoiceWhat two elements make up water?Helium and oxygenHydrogen and oxygenhelium and carbonoxygen and carbon
- 2. Multiple ChoiceA water strider can skate along the top of a pond because:covalent bonds result in water cohesionhydrogen bonds result in water cohesion (surface tension)water striders have adapted to take advantage of water cohesionlow surface tension of water
- 3. Multiple ChoiceWhat word describes when water is attracted to other substances?cohesionadhesioncapillary actionsurface tension
- 4. Multiple ChoiceThe weak attractions between water molecules are calledCovalent bondsIonic bondsPolar bondsHydrogen bonds
- 5. Multiple ChoiceWater’s attraction to other water moleculesadhesioncapillary actioncohesionsurface tension
- 6. Multiple ChoiceWhich is NOT a unique property of water?Frozen water floats on liquid water.Water covers most of the Earth’s surface and retains a large amount of heat.Water molecules stick to each other through hydrogen bonds.Water cools very rapidly.
- 7. Multiple ChoiceWater is polar because...The unequal sharing of electrons gives the water molecule a slight negative charge near its oxygen atom and a slight positive charge near its hydrogen atoms.The molecule has two poles, at which the it is colder than other regions of the molecule.The unequal sharing of electrons gives the water molecule a slight negative charge near its hydrogen atoms and a slight positive charge near its oxygen atom.The water molecule is neutral.
