| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Adhesion | Water molecules stick to other materials. |
| Polar molecule | A compound with one negatively charged side and one positively charged side. |
| Hydrogen bond | The side with the hydrogen atoms (positive charge) attracts the oxygen side (negative charge) of a different water molecule. |
| Cohesion | Water molecules stick to each other. |
| Capillary action | Cohesion and adhesion work together to allow water to travel against gravity and move up a plant system. |
| Moderate temperature | The high specific heat capacity of water helps regulate the rate at which water changes temperature. |
| Expansion upon freezing | As water decreases in temperature, the molecules move away from each other. This change causes an increase in volume. |
