Decide which example best describes each property of water. 1. Water is less dense at 0°C compared to 4°C. 2. Water provides structural support due to its inability to be compressed. 3. The charged ends of a water molecule allow it to surround a solute in solution. 4. The temperature of water rises slowly due to its high specific heat; requiring a lot of energy to convert liquid water to water vapor. 5. While hydrogen bonds are constantly breaking and reforming, a large percentage of the hydrogen bonds between water molecules exist at all times. 6. Due to hydrogen bonding, water tends to adhere to surfaces, such as the lining of the digestive tract. 7. The addition of water can break apart molecules into two smaller molecules. 8. Water is formed when two molecules come together to form a large molecule.

Mark the following statements about carbon as true or false. 1. A carbon atom can form up to four covalent bonds. 2. A carbon atom has six electrons in its outermost shell. 3. The bond between a carbon and hydrogen atom is a polar bond. 4. Oxygen and nitrogen have a stronger electronegativity than carbon (e.g., a strong pull on a shared electron). 5. Bonds between carbon and other atoms are relatively unstable and readily dissociate, resulting in the formation of new molecules. 6. The carbon backbone of a molecule is made up of a string of carbon atoms held together with either single or double bonds. 7. The carbon backbone of a molecule comes in a variety of shapes: linear, ring-like, or highly branched. 8. Carbon is a relatively large atom allowing it to bind to more atoms than smaller atoms would, thereby making it more versatile.
