Apaper clip can stay on the surface of a sample of water because of water's strong surface tension. what is the cause of this surface tension? (hint: review question 6)
question 6: why are water molecules attracted to each other? it is neutral. because of the way oxygen and hydrogen are bonded together, water has an area of positive charge and an area of negatative charge. this makes water a polar molecule. because of water's polarity, water molecules are attracted to each other.

Chen drew a diagram to compare the ways in which different organisms obtain nitrogen. which label belongs to the area marked z?

The last few miles of the marathon are the most difficult for heather, her hair plastered to her head, sweat clinging to her arms, and her legs already feeling as if they had nothing left, just dead weight. after grabbing a cup of ice water, she feels the ice cubes smash against her nose as she gulps some cool refreshment and keeps on running. in these last few miles, the breeze kicks up and she finally feels some coolness against her skin. drips of sweat, once clinging to her forehead, now spill down, and heather feels more pain as the sweat flows into her eyes. which of the following is the most likely reason why the ice struck heather’s nose when she took a drink? a) water can function as a solvent. b) water can store large amounts of heat. c) water can moderate temperatures through evaporative cooling. d) the density of water decreases when it freezes. e) water has a cohesive nature. sweat remained on heather’s forehead and arms because of the a) high salt content of sweat b) cohesive nature of water c) ability of water to moderate heat d) high evaporative cooling effect of water e) ability of water to act as a solvent
