- 3. Multiple ChoiceAttractions between the negative Oxygen atom of one water molecule and the positive Hydrogen atom of another water molecule are calledCovalent bondsIonic bondsPolar bondsHydrogen bonds
- 4. 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 ChoiceWhich of the following is LEAST likely to dissolve in water?nonpolar fats and oilspolar sugar moleculessalt made of a positive sodium ion and a negative chloride ionall of the substances will dissolve easily in water
- 7. Multiple ChoiceLarge bodies of water, such as lakes and oceans, do not quickly fluctuate in temperature. What is the reason for this phenomenon?Water is an acid.Water is a versatile solvent.Water has a high heat capacity.Water acts as a buffer.
- 8. Multiple ChoiceSmall insects can walk across the surface of calm water. Their feet push the surface of the water down slightly, somewhat like a person walking across a trampoline, but they do not break the surface. What is the best explanation for why this happens?The insects are light enough so that 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 feetThe insects' feet are non-polar, so they are repelled by the polar water molecules and are pushed away from the water's surfaceThe insects are small enough to see the individual water molecules, so they are able to step carefully from one molecule to the next
