What type of chemical bonds are present in water?
Water molecules are connected to each other in short lived bonds called hydrogen bonds. Because they are so short lived, water remains a liquid.
Compare how atoms are arranged in a substance with lower density versus a substance with higher density.
High density substances have their atoms arranged closer together than substances with a lower density.
What do you call reactions in which heat is absorbed?
Endothermic
What do you call reactions where heat is created?
Exothermic
