Macromolecules, Enzymes, and Properties of Water

A molecule in which opposite ends have opposite electric charges is called .....

• cohesion

• polar molecule

• hydrogen bond

• solution

Answer explanation

It is a polar molecule because of the unequal sharing of electrons creating a slightly negative pole and a slightly positive pole in the same molecule.

• ionic

• covalent

• hydrogen

A bond created by the weak attraction of a slightly positive hydrogen atom to a slightly negative portion of another molecule is called ..........

• polar molecule

• adhesion

• hydrogen bond

Answer explanation

Hydrogen bonds are due to water molecules being polar.
