- 3. An upward force exerted by water that supports the weight of organisms.
- 5. Substances that are chemically attracted to water and can dissolve in it.
- 7. The property of water sticking to other polar or charged surfaces.
- 10. The strong bond type found within a single water molecule.
- 11. Water has a high capacity for this, helping temperature stability.
- 12. Water is known as the universal version of this because it dissolves solutes.
- 13. This arises from the unequal sharing of electrons between O and H atoms.

Down
- 1. The resistance of a fluid to flow; water's is much higher than air's.
- 2. The type of weak bond formed between water molecules due to polarity.
- 4. The type of conductivity that allows water to transfer heat faster than air.
- 6. The property of water molecules sticking to each other.
- 8. Result of cohesion that allows some insects to walk on water.
