When water evaporates do the covalent bonds between O atoms and H atoms break or do the hydrogen bonds break and why?
The hydrogen bonds break.
How does soap effects the surface tension if water?
the surface tension has bonds, and the soap breaks those bonds, so if the soap water is put onto a surface.. it will slip off
Why does soap reduce the surface tension of water?
Soap will lower the surface tension of water. Like any surfactant soap will lower the surface energy by disrupting the strong inter-molecular hydrogen bonding that confers such a strong surface tension to water.
Do hydrogen bonds in pure water break and reform?
The hydrogen bonds in pure water reform and break as they are intermolecular forces. If they didn't break and reform then pure water would be solid and life couldn't exist.
What term describes when ionic bonds break in water?
Disassociation

Does cold or hot water break down soap better?
hot water.

Disassociation
How does soap affect hydrogen bonds between water molecules?
screw science eat cheese
How does adding soap to water affect adhesion?
Soap is a non-polar molecule that breaks weak hydrogen bonds between water molecules, so it makes the water less cohesive.
What do heterotrophs use water for?
Heterotrophs use water to break the bonds to make energy.
Does Water's polar nature allows it to break ionic bonds?
yes
What is the term for where water is added to break the bonds found in polymers?
Hydrolysis
Which bonds break and which new bonds form?
2H2 + O2 + 2H2O 2H-H + O=O = 2H-O-H..not shaped like this !! The bonds in the reactants break and the bonds in the products form. The bonds in the H2 and O2 break and the bonds in the water form.
