- 4. Multiple Choicemolecule in which opposite ends have opposite electric chargescohesionpolar moleculehydrogen bondsolution
- 5. Multiple ChoiceWhy 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.
- 6. Multiple ChoiceThe reason the water balloon did NOT pop while held over a flame is water's _________.Less dense than air.Hydrogen bonds between water molecules.polarity.high specific heat capacity.
- 7. Multiple ChoiceWater is a universal solvent because it...It can be found anywhereIt freezes when it gets coldfloats when frozenDissolves most substances
- 8. Multiple ChoiceThe fact that ice floats on liquid water is due to the fact that water's solid is ___________ than it's liquid formless polarmore polarless densemore dense
- 9. Multiple ChoiceWater 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 togetherThe 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
- 10. Multiple ChoiceA general definition of cohesion is the attraction of:particles of the same substanceparticles of a different substanceparticles of both the same and different substancesparticles of neither the same or different substances
- 11. Multiple ChoiceWhich term refers to water having partial positive and a partial negative charge?cohesionsurface tensionpolarityadhesion
- 12. Multiple ChoiceA high specific heat means...It heats up quickly with energy addedIt requires more energy to change temperature
