PAPER 2026 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS GRADED A+
⩥ Electronegativity. Answer: Creates a charge across a molecule when
electrons spend more time with one atom
⩥ Nonpolar. Answer: Molecules where atoms share electrons equally
and have no charge (a type of covalent bond)
⩥ Polar. Answer: Molecule when atoms don't share electrons equally
creating a charge across the molecule (a type of covalent bond) (found in
a water molecule)
⩥ Hydrogen bond. Answer: Weak attraction between the positive side of
one polar molecule and the negative side on another (links water
molecules together)
⩥ Cohesion. Answer: The tendency of the same type of molecule to stick
together (creates surface tension in water)
, ⩥ Adhesion. Answer: The tendency of different molecules to stick
together (allow water to cling to a blade of grass)
⩥ High Heat Capacity. Answer: water has the ability to absorb large
amounts of heat before it changes temperature
⩥ Monomer. Answer: Single unit building block
⩥ Polymer. Answer: Large molecules made by joining monomers
⩥ Macromolecule. Answer: Huge polymer made of many monomers
⩥ Organic Compound. Answer: Molecules that make up living things,
contain carbon and hydrogen
⩥ Inorganic Compound. Answer: Do not contain carbon and hydrogen,
still found in living things
⩥ Carbon. Answer: Element the forms the basis of all organic
compounds, can form 4 bonds, creating molecules of various shapes
