How does the polarity of a substance affect how far it travels up the chalk?
because there is polarity of molecules in there
Which characteristic of water molecules makes water a good solvent?
The polarity of water results in the ability of water to dissolve other hydrophilic molecules
What type of bond results between water molecules due to water's polarity?
Hydrogen bonds form between water molecules due to water's polarity.
How is o2 and f2 similar?
Both of these are diatomic molecules which show no polarity.
Does water lose its polarity when frozen?
No, the molecules move farther apart

Hydrogen bonds form between water molecules due to water's polarity.
What is the concept of polarity due to?
Differences of polarity between different compounds (molecules) have two causes: - differences of asymmetry between these molecules - differences between the electronegativity of the atoms contained in the molecule
What property of water molecules is caused by their polarity?
specific heat
Does boiling point affect the polarity of water?
No, boiling does not affect the polarity of water. What it does is create enough energy for the water molecules to separate from one another. But the water molecules are still polar.
Explain how electronegativityaffects the polarity of a bond?
the polarity of a bond is defined by the unequal sharing of the electrons between 2 molecules. so if there is a larger difference of electronegativity between 2 molecules, it will be more polar
Why is water versatile molecules?
Water is a versatile molecule because of its polarity.
What property of water molecules is specifically caused by their polarity?
specific heat
Does water lose its polarity when frozen?
No, the molecules move farther apart
How is o2 and f2 similar?
Both of these are diatomic molecules which show no polarity.
Do the alkane molecules in bitumen have large numbers of carbon atoms or small numbers of carbon atoms?
Large - think they're C25+ The alkane molecules which have small numbers of carbon are Methane (CH4) Ethane (C2H6) etc - they have lower boiling points and are more useful as fuels etc.
