<span>1 Chemicals can be toxic because they can harm us when they enter or contact the body. Exposure to a toxic substance such as gasoline can affect your health. Since drinking gasoline can cause burns, vomiting, diarrhea and, in very large amounts, drowsiness or death, it is toxic. Some chemicals are hazardous because of their physical properties: they can explode, burn or react easily with other chemicals. Since gasoline can burn and its vapors can explode, gasoline is also hazardous. A chemical can be toxic, or hazardous, or both.

Yuri [45]

Answer:

1. polarity

2. hydrogen bonding

3. High heat capacity

4. Adhesion

5. polarity

6. surface tension

7. high heat vaporization

8. hydrogen bonds form a rigid and stable network

9. Water is a polar substance and fat is a nonpolar substance.

10. Cohesion

Explanation:

Water is a polar molecule that is held together by hydrogen bonds to form strong cohesive forces. This accounts for the surface tension in water. Surface tension is the force acting on water that it makes to behave like a stretched elastic skin.

The polarity of water accounts for the fact that it is found in several parts of the body where it largely plays the role of a polar solvent.

High heat capacity of water enables it to function well in the area of thermoregulation in the body. High heat vaporization accounts for the fact that water helps maintain extreme temperature changes in an area.

When in solid state, the hydrogen bonded network in water becomes rigid and forms a very stable network of water molecules. Being polar, water does  not interact with fat because like dissolves like.

In plants, the attachment of water to plant roots is known as adhesion and is necessary for the capillary movement of nutrients to plants via the root.
