Question

Water has many unique properties attributed to its polarity. Which correctly pairs the water property with a correct example of the property. A) A solid (ice) is more dense than a liquid (water) so it sinks. B) Surface tension is caused by the cohesion or "stickiness" of water molecules. C) Due to cohesion, water is the universal solvent, dissolving most nonpolar substances. D) Due to water's high specific heat, the temperature of water rises and falls very quickly allowing bodies of water to moderate air temperat

Answer 1

Answer:

b

Explanation:

because i said so

Answer 2

Answer:

Option B, Surface tension is caused by the cohesion or "stickiness" of water molecules.

Explanation:

The water molecules have a unique property of attracting each other resulting into surface tension. Hence option B is correct

Option A is incorrect because solid water i.e ice is 9 % less dense than the liquid water and hence it floats on water

Option C is incorrect because water is  considered as a good solvent because of its polarity .

Option D is incorrect because water takes time to get heated due to its high specific heat.
