- 5. Multiple Choice
Describe ADHESION.
Water molecules attracted to other substances.
Water molecules climbing upwards against the force of gravity.

- 6. Multiple ChoiceWhat two elements make up water?Helium and oxygenHydrogen and oxygenhelium and carbonoxygen and carbon
- 7. Multiple Choice
Attractions between water molecules are called
Covalent bonds
Ionic bonds
Polar bonds
Hydrogen bonds
- 8. Multiple Choice
Why does ice float?
As water freezes, the molecules move farther apart and its density decreases.
As water freezes, it takes up more hydrogen from the atmosphere
As water freezes, air becomes trapped between the water molecules.
As water freezes, it takes up more oxygen from the atmosphere
- 9. Multiple Choice

2
3
4
6
- 10. Multiple Choice
Why can water striders walk across the surface of water without falling through?
They are light enough so they don't break the hydrogen bonds holding the water molecules together
The insects actually use their wings to hover slightly above the water’s surface
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
- 11. Multiple ChoiceTrue or false water is a polar molecule?TrueFalse
- 12. Multiple Choice
Which end of the water molecule has a slightly positive charge?
the oxygen end
the hydrogen end
both ends are slightly positive
neither end is positive
- 13. Multiple Choice
Which term refers to water having a slightly positive and a slighty negative charge on its ends?
cohesion
surface tension
polar
adhesion
- 14. Multiple Choice
Why does water moderate temperature so well?
It does not allow heat in between the hydrogen bonds.
More energy is needed to break all the hydrogen bonds, or rebuild them, between water molecules.
Water has high energy all the time, so it can't heat up any more.
The polarity of the water molecule resists the added energy, causing water to stay the same temperature.
- 15. Multiple Choice
