Interpretation: To state whether statement I and statement II are true or false. To determine if statement II is the correct explanation of statement I.
Concept Introduction: The polarity of water molecules causes hydrogen bonding. A water molecule comprises three atoms two hydrogen atoms that carry a partial positive charge and one oxygen atom that carries a partial negative charge
Answer to Problem 8STP
Statement I is the correct explanation for Statement II.
Explanation of Solution
Surface tension can be described as a process where the surface area is minimized. It occurs when a liquid occupies the least surface area possible.
High surface tension represents the strong ionic interactions between the molecules. This occurs when there exist interactions between the molecules that are present in a liquid. The surface tension of water is relatively high as there exists hydrogen bonding between water molecules.
Thus, statement I is the correct explanation for Statement II.
