If the length, width, and height of a cube is 2cm and it’s mass is 16g, what is it’s density? (correct labeling of units does not apply - although you should know them).
2g/cm3

Is a substance with 2 or more atoms chemically combined an element or a molecule?
Molecule.

Solid is most dense.

Where do inferences go?
Conclusion
500
Are water molecules polar or non-polar. Don't write an explanation, but you should have an explanation ready.
Polar. Water molecules share electrons unevenly. In a game of tug o'war the oxygen atom is like a big football player that attracts more negative electrons. The hydrogen atoms are like a toddler; their negative electrons are being pulled away from them, making them more positive.

Scratch test or Moh's hardness scale.
