Question

properties of water crossword (version #1)

across

1. process where water changes from a liquid to a gas
2. creates a \skin\ on the surface of water
3. attraction between water molecules and other materials due to polarity
4. process where water vapor cools and changes back into liquid
5. water loving
6. the substance that does the dissolving

down

1. a bond formed between hydrogen atom of one molecule to oxygen atom of a different water molecule
2. water fearing
3. movement of water upward through narrow tubes
4. the substance that gets dissolved into another
5. attraction between water molecules, which causes them to stick together

Explanation:

To solve the crossword, we analyze each clue:

Across:

1. Evaporation (liquid to gas).
2. Surface Tension (creates water “skin”).
3. Adhesion (water - other materials attraction).
4. Condensation (vapor to liquid).
5. Hydrophilic (water - loving).
6. Solvent (does the dissolving).

Down:

1. Hydrogen Bond (H - O between water molecules).
2. Hydrophobic (water - fearing).
3. Capillary Action (water up narrow tubes).
4. Solute (gets dissolved).
5. Cohesion (water molecules sticking).

For example, if we take clue 2 (Across):

• Clue: Process where water changes from liquid to gas.
• Answer: Evaporation (length matches the grid for 2 - across).

Final Answers (Filling the Grid):

• Across 2: EVAPORATION
• Across 5: SURFACE TENSION
• Across 7: ADHESION
• Across 8: CONDENSATION
• Across 9: HYDROPHILIC
• Across 10: SOLVENT
• Down 1: HYDROGEN BOND
• Down 3: HYDROPHOBIC
• Down 4: CAPILLARY ACTION
• Down 5: SOLUTE
• Down 6: COHESION
