Water & pH

A single water molecule is held together by:

• an H-bond.

• an ionic bond.

• a covalent bond.

Multiple water molecules are held together by:

• covalent bonds.

• ionic bonds.

• hydrogen bonds.

When water sticks to other polar substances, it is known as

• adhesion

• cohesion

• transpiration

• surface tension

When water is attracted to other water molecules, it is known as

• capillary action

• surface tension

• adhesion

• cohesion

When water molecules at the surface of a liquid pull together to form a tight film of liquid, it is known as:

• cohesion

• adhesion

• surface tension

• polarity

Why is water a polar molecule?

• The oxygen and hydrogen molecules share electrons equally.

• The oxygen and hydrogen molecules do NOT share electrons equally.

• The oxygen atom transfers electrons to the hydrogens.

• The hydrogen atoms transfer electrons to the oxygen atom.
