What is a solvent? 

300

What symbol represents a partial or relative charge? 

Lower case delta

400

Which feature of water allows it to be the universal solvent?

What is polarity.

400

A weak bond formed between hydrogen and oxygen in different water molecules.

What is hydrogen bonding.

400

What does it mean when an element has a superscript with a positive? 

All acceptable: The element has lost electrons, is positive, or is a cation. 

400

Why do water molecules stick together?

What is hydrogen bonding (weak attractions between the relatively positive hydrogen and relatively negative oxygen).

Which 2 properties of water allow water to travel up to the leaves of plants from soil? 

BOTH adhesion and cohesion 

500

Which feature of water is responsible for water being more dense as a liquid than a solid?

Hydrogen Bonds

500

This type of bond exists because electrons are donated & accepted (transferred) between molecules.

What is ionic. 

500

What does it mean to be nonpolar? 

The electrons in the molecule are equally shared.
