Scientists observe patterns in how molecules interact with
each other. At the same temperature, for example, liquids
have more attraction between particles than gases do. Water
(H₂O) is a liquid at room temperature, while carbon dioxide
(CO₂) is a gas at room temperature. Why? Choose the two
statements that apply.
A. Nonpolar molecules only attract polar molecules.
O B.
Polar molecules attract each other more than
nonpolar molecules do.
O C. Water molecules are polar. Carbon dioxide
molecules are not.
D. Carbon dioxide molecules do not have polar
bonds. Water molecules do.
