8. Which feature of water explains why water has a high surface tension?

A. water is the universal solvent and dissolves other molecules
B. water is a thermal mediator and resists changes to temperature
C. water is the liquid that diffuses into cells and spreads out in the cytoplasm
D. water is a polar molecule and creates partial bonds between other molecules

Answer 1

D .
It wouldnt be universal since its talking about dissolving and with high surface tension its the bonds interacting with other molecules

Answer 2

Answer: D

Explanation: Water's high surface tension is due to the hydrogen bonding in water molecules. Water molecules form these bonds in the liquid as well as deeper in the liquid.
