For starters, atoms are the basic building blocks of matter- they make up elements, molecules and compounds. Elements most often combine with other elements as compounds. Whilst molecules are particles found in both elements and compounds. I hope that wasn't too confusing, but bottom line is that they are all linked together in this way! Helpful? :)

4. Large, circular lily pads are able to float on the water's surface.

Answer: cohesion

Cohesion mean that water attracted to another water. This force will make the water to form a surface tension in the lake. Water lily has a wide and thin leaf which makes it giving a low force per area. If the force applied on the surface is not bigger than surface tension, the leaf will stay float above the water. Surface tension also the reason water spider could walk on water.

5. The temperature of the water is about 5°C, while the temperature of the air is about 21°C.

Answer: heat capacity

Water has high heat capacity. High heat capacity mean that the water will not be easily become cold or hot. It will need more energy to increase/decrease the temperature of the water. This is why the water could keep its temperature much lower than the atmosphere. This will protect the organism inside the water from an extreme temperature change.
