| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Adhesion | Water molecules stick to other materials |
| cohesion | refers to the occurrence of water sticking to other water molecules via hydrogen bonds |
| Polar molecule | A compound with one negatively changed side and one positively charged side |
| Hydrogen bond | The side with hydrogen atoms attracts the oxygen side of a different molecule |
| Surface tension | water with thin "skin" on its surface due to the water molecules sticking together |
| Capillary action | cohesion and adhesion work together to allow water to travel against gravity and move up a plant stem |
| Specific heat capacity | the amount of heat required to change the temperature of a unit mass of a given substance by a unit amount |
| Expansion upon freezing | an increase of volume with the same misleads to a decrease in density |
| Universal solvent | dissolves more substance than any other liquid |
