FRQ #3 a.) The first property of water is its polarity. A water molecule is formed by one oxygen atom covalently bonded to two hydrogen atoms. The electronegativity of the oxygen atom creates an unequal sharing of electrons between the O and H atoms of the molecule. This also gives water the ability to form hydrogen bonds between the slightly negative oxygen atom and the slightly positive hydrogen atom. Water has a high specific heat due to the hydrogen bonds. Because of this‚ water requires

Thesis: The political actions of the anti-slavery movement were designed to "choke" slavery into extinction‚ rather than moving to end the practice in one fell swoop. Missouri compromise: Unable to stop the spread of slavery altogether‚ abolitionists at least were able to restrict its spread.

Sampling is finding subjects for one’s research. For this particular experiment‚ the sample would be a group of 50 hyperactive children. To gather these 50 test subjects‚ I would go to several pediatrician offices and ask to use a total amount of 50 diagnosed hyperactive children for my experiment. With my newfound sampling‚ I create two groups‚ one being a control group of 25 children and the other being an experimental group of 25 children. To figure out how these children are put into which group
