Question 5
Question
Nuclear reactors can run into problems if the reactor and fuel rods get too hot. They will use water as a coolant to keep the reactor core at a proper temperature. What property of water is this demonstrating?
Answer
Cohesion

Question 6
Question
A polar bond is created by unequally shared electrons. Nonpolar bonds are equally shared electrons. Which statement best explains why water will dissolve polar compounds and NOT non polar compounds?
Answer
Polar compounds are charged molecules with + and – ends. These charged areas will attract other charged areas of other molecules.
Polar and nonpolar are opposite molecules. Opposite molecules will dissolve opposites.
Polar molecules are like ice, they are very cold; nonpolar are warm
Ionic are the best to be dissolved because they have opposite charges.
