From A1.1 Water, 12 questions.

All 12 questions and answers

  1. Bond involving unequal electron sharing, creating partial charges?

    Answer: Polar covalent bond

  2. An atom's ability to attract electrons in a bond (e.g., oxygen in water)?

    Answer: Electronegativity

  3. Intermolecular attraction between the partial positive H and partial negative O of neighbor molecules?

    Answer: Hydrogen bond

  4. Water molecules "sticking" to each other due to H-bonding?

    Answer: Cohesion

  5. Water molecules sticking to other polar or charged surfaces?

    Answer: Adhesion

  6. Property allowing water surfaces to resist rupture under stress?

    Answer: Surface tension

  7. Water rising in narrow tubes against gravity (combines adhesion and cohesion)?

    Answer: Capillary action

  8. Energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 °C (helps keep temperatures stable)?

    Answer: Specific heat capacity

  9. Energy required to turn liquid water into vapor (used for evaporative cooling)?

    Answer: Latent heat of vaporization

  10. The upward force exerted by a fluid on an immersed object?

    Answer: Buoyancy

  11. A fluid's internal friction or "thickness" (resistance to flow)?

    Answer: Viscosity

  12. The rate at which heat moves through a material?

    Answer: Thermal conductivity

Play this set opens it in splycr, where you can host it for your class straight away. Hosting needs no account: put the room code on the projector, and students join from a phone with the code and their first name. Each question plays as multiple choice, and the three wrong options are other answers from the same set.
