2. A property of substances that causes them to repel or not mix well with water.
3. The protective, waxy layer on the surface of plant leaves that helps prevent water loss.
6. A weak attraction between the slightly positive charge of hydrogen in one molecule and the slightly negative charge of oxygen in another molecule.
10. The force that makes water molecules stick to other substances or surfaces.
11. The force created in plants when water is pulled upwards through the stems due to water loss from the leaves.
12. A substance, like water, that dissolves other materials to create a uniform mixture.

1. The elastic-like force on the surface of a liquid, making it more resistant to external forces and allowing objects to float on it.
4. A property of substances that allows them to easily mix with or dissolve in water.
5. A mixture where a substance is evenly dispersed in a liquid, like salt in water.
7. The force that causes water molecules to stick to each other due to attractive forces.
8. A condition where a molecule has an uneven distribution of charge, making one part slightly positive and another part slightly negative.
9. The vascular tissue in plants that moves water upward from the roots to the rest of the plant.
