Question

Which transition represents a time when water molecules are moving closer together? Frost forms on a window pain. Sleet turns to rain. Dew forms on the grass. A puddle disappears.

Answer 1

The correct answer here is C. Dew forms on the grass.

Water is a polar substance, which means it has many unique properties. One of which, is its ability to adhere and cohere to surfaces and substances. This particular question is asking about the cohesive properties of water, meaning it’s ability to stick to itself (through bonding.) The only answer choice that represents a situation where water is linking up with other molecules of water are dew drops. The water comes together using cohesion to form the drop and hen the water’s high surface tension properties meet the dew drop’s shape. The other answer choices describe alternate processes like: freezing, melting, and evaporation, respectively.
