The type of chemical bond that can form BETWEEN water molecules (these are weak, temporary bonds)   Hydrogen Bonds  
🗑
Having an uneven distribution of electrons results in a ________ molecule   Polar  
🗑
Property of water where water molecules stick together because they form hydrogen bonds with each other   Cohesion

🗑
Having the ability to absorb a lot of heat energy before the temperature rises   High Specific Heat  
🗑
Property of water that allows some mammals to cool down by sweating or panting   High Heat of Vaporization  
🗑
Having the ability to absorb heat energy in the process of changing from a liquid to a gas   High Heat of Vaporization

Elements or compounds entering into a chemical reaction are _______.   Reactants  
🗑
Elements or compounds produced by a chemical reaction are _______.   Products  
🗑
Energy needed to get a reaction started   Activation Energy  
🗑
Biological substance that lowers a reaction's activation energy   Enzyme

An enzyme that has lost its functional shape is said to be   Denatured  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
