True or False? Circle the correct answer for each statement. If a statement is false, explain why under the statement.
1. The type of chemical bond within the water molecule is the ionic bond. True/False
2. Many of water's properties are due to its polar nature. True/False
3. When water naturally breaks apart, ions of Hydrogen (H) and Hydroxide (OH) form. True/False
4. The lower the pH number, the stronger the base a solution is. True/False

F,T,T,F

Explanation:

1)false-(its a covalent bond)

A water molecule is formed when two atoms of hydrogen bond covalently with an atom of oxygen.

2)True-(water is a polar molecule)

Water is a polar molecule because the positive end attracts particles of negative charge.

3)True

water dissociates to form hydrogen ions (H3O+) and hydroxide (OH-) ions

4)false

Lower pH number means stronger acid, higher pH number means stronger base.

well, that's easy; the answer's c, "it reduces contamination of the water and substrate of the estuary."
