The water molecule is composed of two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen. Hydrogen and oxygen have very different electronegativities: oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, oxygen can attract more shared electrons in a covalent bond. When a water molecule is very close to other water molecules, specific interactions between a hydrogen in a molecule and the oxygen in the nearby molecule are established, forming a very strong type of union known as a hydrogen bond. This makes water have different qualities, such as high solvent capacity, high specific heat, high heat of vaporization, great cohesion and adhesion.

<span>All of the answer choices relate a source of pollution with its effect; however, all of them except one is correct. <u>The answer is B.</u>
Option A states that the use of aerosol sprays increases ozone; however, the effect is the opposite. Moreover, the depletion does not result in acid rain. In option C, although fossil fuels do cause air pollution, they do not do so by reducing the water vapor content. Instead, they actually increase water vapor content. Their effect is of increasing the content of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. Finally, CFCs cause ozone depletion, they do not seep into the ground.</span>
