molecule in which opposite ends have opposite electric charges

• cohesion
• polar molecule
• hydrogen bond
• solution

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, 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.

Which end of the water molecule has a slightly positive charge?

• the oxygen end
• the hydrogen end
• both ends are slightly positive
• neither end is positive

Which types of compounds dissolve easily in water?

• Polar and Nonpolar
• Polar and Ionic
• Nonpolar and Ionic
• Covalent and Nonpolar

Water droplets take a spherical shape (as pictured) because of ____________

• adhesion
• cohesion
• capillary action
• solubility

The 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.
