'ow are the atomic number and the number of protons related to each other"
'ow do the number of protons( number of neutrons( and the mass number relate to each other"
)hat is the one thing that determines the identity of an atom (that is( whether it is an oxygen atom
or a carbon atom( etc)"
Match the terms and definitions:
* polar molecules ! molecules that possess distinct poles
+ hydrophilic 2 when oppositely charged parts of molecules
are attracted to each other
C capillary action , resulting product of a sol-ent and solute
. cohesion % attraction of water molecules to each other
through hydrogen bonds
/ solute 0 ability to cool a surface during e-aporation
1 high specific heat $ ability of a molecule to absorb a lot of heat
before its temperature rises
2 adhesion 3 attraction of water molecules to any
hydrophilic substance
' sol-ent # maintaining constant conditions
4 homeostasis 5 dissol-es a solute
