| 6843510788 | polar | Molecule with partial charges. Mixes with water. |  | 0 |
| 6843510789 | nonpolar | No partial charges. Do not mix with water. |  | 1 |
| 6843510790 | electronegativity | Attraction of an atom for electrons in a covalent bond. |  | 2 |
| 6843510791 | cohesion | Water molecules sticking to each other. |  | 3 |
| 6843510792 | adhesion | Water molecules sticking to other surfaces. |  | 4 |
| 6843510793 | solute | Something dissolved in a solution. |  | 5 |
| 6843510794 | solvent | Dissolving agent of a solution. |  | 6 |
| 6843510795 | capillary action | A process powered by adhesion that causes water molecules to move upward through a narrow tube such as the stem of a plant. |  | 7 |
| 6843510796 | Heat capacity/specific heat | the amount of thermal energy that must be absorbed or lost to change the temperature of a substance or object by 1oC |  | 8 |
| 6843510797 | surface tension | An inward force that tends to minimize the surface area of a liquid; it causes the surface to behave as if it were a thin skin |  | 9 |
| 6843510798 | heat of vaporization | The amount of energy required for the liquid at its boiling point to become a gas |  | 10 |
| 6843510799 | heat of fusion | the amount of energy required to change a substance from the solid phase to the liquid phase at its melting point |  | 11 |
| 6843510800 | thermal conductivity | the rate at which a substance transfers thermal energy |  | 12 |
| 6843510801 | hydrophobic | insoluble in water | 13 | |
| 6843510802 | hydrophilic | having a tendency to mix with, dissolve in, or be wetted by water. | 14 | |
| 6843510803 | covalent bonds | Bonds created by sharing electrons with other atoms. |  | 15 |
| 6843510804 | ionic bonds | Bonds between atoms that form by transferring electrons |  | 16 |
| 6843510805 | hydrogen bonds | Very weak bonds; occurs when a hydrogen atom in one molecule is attracted to the electrostatic atom in another molecule |  | 17 |
| 6843510806 | polar covalent bond | A covalent bond between atoms that differ in electronegativity. The shared electrons are pulled closer to the more electronegative atom, making it slightly negative and the other atom slightly positive. |  | 18 |
| 6843510815 | transpiration | The process by which water is lost through a plant's leaves |  | 19 |
| 6843510816 | evaporative cooling | The process in which the surface of an object becomes cooler during evaporation, owing to a change of the molecules with the greatest kinetic energy from the liquid to the gaseous state. |  | 20 |
| 6843510831 | osmosis | The movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane, from a high to low concentration | 21 | |
| 6843510832 | diffusion | The movement of atoms or molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration | 22 |
