An attraction between molecules of the same substance

Trues

Atoms in a gas move more rapidly than atoms in a liquid or solid do True or False

Isotope

Atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons they contain

False, False False

Buffers can neutralize acids, but they do not affect bases

C are biological catalysts

Enzymes A. are able to heat up molecules so that they can react B. provide co2 for chemcial reactions C. are biological catalysts D. absorb excess heat so that reactions occur at low temperatures

True yep I it is True

Functional groups are side groups of carbon compounds that confer specific properties to these compounds True or False

D water expands when it freezes

Ice Floats on water because A of cohesion B ice has a higher density than water C. water shrinks when it freezes D. Water expands when it freezes
