  2. A. Cohesion
  3. A. Polar
  4. C. Ions disassociate and become surrounded by water molecules
  5. C. They surround and stabilize the ions
  6. The polarity of water allows it to exist in three states by influencing molecular interactions and bonding, leading to unique properties like high surface tension, high heat capacity, and density changes during freezing.
  7. B. Ice has hydrogen bonds that create a solid structure with lower density
  8. B. Water can form hydrogen bonds with the polar parts of sugar
  9. C. Hydrogen bonding
