Use the water info graphic below to choose all statements that are TRUE. Choose the 7 statements that are TRUE.

a
The hydrogen atoms in water have a slight positive charge.
b
Nonpolar covalent solutes such as benzene (C6H6) will dissolve in water.

c
Polar covalent solutes such as Ammonia (NH3) will dissolve in water.

d
The oxygen atom in water has a slight positive charge.
e
Water molecules can form weak bonds with one another. The slightly positive hydrogen atom on one molecule is attracted to a slightly positive hydrogen atom on another molecule.
f
Ionic solutes such as NaCl will NOT dissolve in water.
g
The hydrogen atoms in water have a slight negative charge.
h
Water molecules can form weak bonds with one another. The slightly negative oxygen atom on one molecule is attracted to a slightly negative oxygen atom on another molecule.

i
The oxygen atom in water has a slight negative charge.
j
Nonpolar covalent solutes such as benzene (C6H6) will NOT dissolve in water.

k
Ionic solutes such as NaCl will dissolve in water.
l
Water is a nonpolar covalent molecule.
m
Water molecules can form weak bonds with one another. The slightly negative oxygen atom on one molecule is attracted to a slight positive hydrogen atom on another molecule.
n
Water is a polar covalent molecule.
o
Polar covalent solutes such as Ammonia (NH3) will NOT dissolve in water.
