Question

drop & drag water properties
match the term with the correct property of water by dragging the term to its correct description. use your notes to assist you.
terms (left): adhesion, capillary action, surface tension, specific heat, polarity, cohesion
descriptions (yellow boxes):

• when one molecule has opposite charges on each of its ends
• the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance one degree celsius
• the ability of water molecules to attract to other substances
• describes how the surface of water acts like a skin and seals up quickly after being disturbed
• when water molecules stick to other molecules of water
• how water moves against gravity and travels up plant roots into its stem and leaves

Explanation:

To solve this, we match each term with its correct water property description:

• Polarity: A molecule with opposite charges at its ends (matches "When one molecule has opposite charges on each of its ends").
• Specific Heat: Defined as the heat to raise 1g of a substance by 1°C (matches "The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance one degree Celsius").
• Adhesion: Water molecules attracting to other substances (matches "The ability of water molecules to attract to other substances").
• Surface Tension: Water’s surface acting like a skin (matches "Describes how the surface of water acts like a skin and seals up quickly after being disturbed").
• Capillary Action: Water moving against gravity in plants (matches "How water moves against gravity and travels up plant roots into its stem and leaves").
• Cohesion: Water molecules sticking to other water molecules (matches "When water molecules stick to other molecules of water").

Answer:

• Polarity → When one molecule has opposite charges on each of its ends
• Specific Heat → The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance one degree Celsius
• Adhesion → The ability of water molecules to attract to other substances
• Surface Tension → Describes how the surface of water acts like a skin and seals up quickly after being disturbed
• Capillary Action → How water moves against gravity and travels up plant roots into its stem and leaves
• Cohesion → When water molecules stick to other molecules of water
