- 2. Multiple Choice
A water strider can skate along the top of a pond because:
covalent bonds result in water cohesion
hydrogen bonds result in water cohesion (surface tension)
water striders have adapted to take advantage of water cohesion
- 3. Multiple Choice
What word describes when water is attracted to other substances?
adhesion
cohesion
surface tension
- 4. Multiple Choice
Why can water have no net charge but have slight charges in different parts of the molecule?
The oxygen end is slightly negative and the hydrogen end is slightly positive
The hydrogen end is slightly negative and the oxygen end is slightly positive
The hydrogen and oxygen ends change in polarity
- 5. Multiple Choice
The weak attractions between water molecules are called
Covalent bonds
Ionic bonds
Hydrogen bonds
- 6. Multiple Choice
Water’s attraction to other water molecules
adhesion
capillary action
cohesion
- 7. Multiple Choice
Which 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 cools very rapidly.
- 8. Multiple Choice
Water 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.
- 9. Multiple Choice
Tendency of molecules of the same kind to stick to one another
cohesion
adhesion
solution
- 10. Multiple Choice
Molecule in which opposite ends have opposite electric charges
cohesion
polar molecule
hydrogen bond
- 11. Multiple Choice
Why 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, it takes up more oxygen from the atmosphere, causing it to have a greater buoyancy.

- 16. Multiple Choice
Which characteristic of water will allow a paperclip to remain floating on water when the paperclip is gently placed on top of the water?
adhesion
surface tension
nonpolar
- 17. Multiple Choice
Which part(s) of a water molecule has/have a partial negative charge?
the two hydrogen (H) atoms
the two oxygen (O) atoms
the one oxygen (O) atom
- 18. Multiple Choice
