Question

9. Because water consists of polar molecules, ___.

A. Water falls as sleet or snow when temperatures are cold.
B. Water can be attracted using a magnet
C. Water is attracted to the magnet north pole
D. Water molecules tend to stick together

Answer 1

D water molecules tend to stick together.

Step-by-step explanation:

a water molecule consists of 1 oxygen atom and 2 hydrogen atoms. because of the oxygen atom, this makes water electronegative, giving the hydrogen side a partial charge and the oxygen side a partial negative charge, making the water molecule polar. the oxygen is attracted to hydrogens, and the hydrogens are attracted to oxygens creating hydrogen bonds. hence the answer is D the water molecules tend to stick together.
