• Helium and oxygen
• Hydrogen and oxygen
• helium and carbon
• oxygen and carbon

Attractions between water molecules are called

• Covalent bonds
• Ionic bonds
• Polar bonds
• Hydrogen bonds

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
• low surface tension of water
