Answer 25

Polar Covalent Bonds

Question 26

A full outer orbital of electrons.

Answer 26

Octet

Question 27

Question 30

Multiple water molecules form weak attractions from the oxygen atom on one molecule to a hydrogen atom in another molecule.
Weak attractions between the slightly negative side of water molecules and the slightly positive side of surrounding water molecules.

Answer 30

Hydrogen Bonds

Question 31

Reasons why water is extremely important to life (due to hydrogen bonding):

Answer 31

Universal Solvent
Cohesion
Adhesion

Question 32

Water is attracted to itself.
Ex. Surface tension —> Allows bugs to float on the water surface.

Answer 32

Cohesion

Question 33

Water is attracted to other substances.
Ex. Towels sparking up water from surfaces.

Answer 33

Adhesion

Question 34

Positive hydrogens can surround negative ions and negative oxygen pole can surround positive ions.
When the ions of an ionic molecule are more attracted to the water than to each other, they break apart and dissolve.
