(Click to select) with the oxygen being the negative end and the two hydrogens being the positive end.
2. Because it is a polar compound, individual water molecules are attracted to one another by [(Click to select) bonds, which form
because of the attraction between the positive hydrogen atoms and the negative oxygen atoms.

ordinary conditions of temperature and pressure, water exists as a (Click to select).
4. Water also exhibits (Click to select), which is the ability to cling to other polar surfaces, because of its polarity.
5. Water has a high heat (Click to select), which allows it to absorb heat without greatly changing its temperature, and a high heat
of (Click to select), which prevents it from easily becoming a gas and evaporating into the environment.
6. Water can also be used as a (Click to select) for many polar and ionic substances. Molecules that are attracted to water are said
