Which sentence best explains the high melting point, boiling point, and surface tension of water? a. the hydrogen atom on each water molecule is strongly attracted to the hydrogen atoms on nearby molecules. b. ions dissolved in the water cause nearby molecules to become temporarily polar. c. the water molecules are connected to each other with covalent bonds. d. water molecules that have lost electrons attract the water molecules that have gained electrons. e. the negative side of each water molecule is attracted to the positive sides of nearby molecules.

E. The negative side of each water molecule is attracted to the positive sides of nearby molecules.

Explanation: The high melting point, high boiling point and high surface tension of water is due to strong cohesive forces present among molecules of water.

The strong inter molecular forces among water molecules is due to strong hydrogen bonding which is due to bonding between a more electronegative oxygen atom bearing a partial negative charge with a less electronegative hydrogen atom bearing a partial positive charge.

Thus the negative side of each water molecule is attracted to the positive sides of nearby molecules.

a boiling water reactor does not boil the water. a pressurized water reactor boils the water faster. a pressurized water reactor is heated directly by the core. a pressurized water reactor does not use fission.
