1. Explain why water is a polar molecule.
2. Explain what a hydrogen bond is and how water being a polar molecule causes hydrogen bonds.

A water molecule is polar because ..........
the oxygen side is negative and the hydrogens side is positively charged
the oxygen side is positive and the hydrogens side is negatively charged
the hydrogen atoms pull on the electrons more than the oxygen atom does
the oxygen and the hydrogen atoms pull on the electrons equally
The weak and temporary bond between the positive hydrogen side of a water molecule and the negative side of another molecule (maybe water) is called ...
oxygen bond
covalent bond
hydrogen bond
ionic bond
The hydrogen bond between the 2 water molecules is an example of _________________, while the hydrogen bond between a water and another molecules (like the sides of the tube shown in the diagram) is an example of _____________
adhesion/cohesion
cohesion/adhesion
surface tension/capillary action
cohesion/cohesion
adhesion/adhesion
capillary action
surface tension
water is a good solvent
water moderate temperatures (slows down changes in temperature)
This image shows 2 common types of lipids (fats/oil) which do NO dissolve in water (they are hydrophobic!). The black spheres are carbon, white is hydrogen and red is oxygen. Notice both molecules are mostly 3 long chains of carbons and hydrogen only (no oxygen) with a few positive and negative charges at one end (because of the oxygen)

Pick the best explanation for why lipids do NOT dissolve in water.
Lipids do not dissolve in water because they have many + and - (positive and negative) charges which water molecules are NOT attracted to (water repels charges)
Lipids do not dissolve in water because lipids have almost no charges - water molecules are polar (have charges) so are not attracted to molecules without charges.
Lipids do not dissolve in water because lipids have almost no charges - because water molecules also do NOT have charges, water is not attracted to lipids.
