What type of bond holds a water molecule together
-
Covalent
-
Ionic
-
Hydrogen
-
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. CovalentExplanation
A water molecule is held together by a covalent bond. In a covalent bond, two atoms share electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration. In the case of water, oxygen and hydrogen atoms share electrons to form two covalent bonds. This sharing of electrons allows the oxygen atom to have a full outer shell of electrons, giving it a stable configuration. Therefore, the correct answer is covalent.Rate this question:

Water is what type of molecule
-
Non polar
-
Ionic
-
Polar covalent
-
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. Polar covalentExplanation
Water is a polar covalent molecule because it consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom through covalent bonds. In a water molecule, the oxygen atom has a higher electronegativity than the hydrogen atoms, causing the electrons to be unequally shared. This results in a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom and partial positive charges on the hydrogen atoms, creating a polar molecule.Rate this question:

Water's ability to moderate temperatures is the result of its
-
Low center of gravity
-
Low specific heat
-
High specific heat
-
Neutral specific heat
Correct Answer
A. High specific heatExplanation
Water's ability to moderate temperatures is the result of its high specific heat. Specific heat refers to the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance. Water has a high specific heat, meaning it can absorb a large amount of heat energy without a significant increase in temperature. This property allows water to act as a temperature buffer, regulating the temperature of its surroundings and maintaining a stable environment. It is why bodies of water like oceans and lakes tend to have more stable temperatures compared to land areas.Rate this question:

It needs to be a question that can be solved experimentally.
-
It needs to be a question that has a yes or no answer.
-
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. It needs to be a question that can be solved experimentally.Explanation
A question that can be solved experimentally is a requirement for using the scientific method because the scientific method involves formulating a hypothesis, designing and conducting experiments to test the hypothesis, and analyzing the results to draw conclusions. If a question cannot be solved experimentally, it cannot be tested scientifically and therefore cannot be valid for using the scientific method.Rate this question:

Water's ability to cling together is called
-
Cohesion
-
Adhesion
-
Synchronicity
-
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. CohesionExplanation
Cohesion refers to the ability of water molecules to stick together due to hydrogen bonding. This property allows water to form droplets, create surface tension, and move through narrow spaces against gravity. Adhesion, on the other hand, refers to water's ability to stick to other substances. Synchronicity is not a term related to water's properties. Therefore, the correct answer is cohesion.Rate this question:

What type of bond exists between water molecules
-
Covalent
-
Ionic
-
Hydrogen
-
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. HydrogenExplanation
Hydrogen bonding is the type of bond that exists between water molecules. This occurs when a hydrogen atom from one water molecule is attracted to the oxygen atom of another water molecule. This attraction is due to the difference in electronegativity between hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen bond is weaker than a covalent or ionic bond, but it is strong enough to give water its unique properties such as high boiling point, surface tension, and ability to dissolve many substances.Rate this question:

What is the form of RNA that has a structure resembling a clover leaf in the illustration
-
Messenger RNA
-
Transfer RNA
-
Complementary RNA
-
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. Transfer RNAExplanation
Transfer RNA (tRNA) has a structure resembling a clover leaf in the illustration. tRNA molecules are responsible for carrying amino acids to the ribosomes during protein synthesis. The clover leaf structure of tRNA is formed by base pairing between different regions of the molecule, creating three loops and an anticodon region that binds to the corresponding codon on the mRNA. This structure allows tRNA to accurately recognize and deliver the appropriate amino acid to the growing polypeptide chain. Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes, while complementary RNA is not a recognized form of RNA.Rate this question:

-
Positron
-
Cation
-
Anion
-
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. CationExplanation
A positively charged ion is called a cation. This is because when an atom loses one or more electrons, it becomes positively charged and is then referred to as a cation. A cation has more protons than electrons, resulting in a net positive charge. A positron, on the other hand, is a subatomic particle with the same mass as an electron but with a positive charge. An anion, on the other hand, is a negatively charged ion that has gained one or more electrons. Therefore, the correct answer is cation.Rate this question:
