How Unique is Water?? Water is one of only 3 naturally occurring inorganic liquids Only chemical compound that naturally exists in all 3 states—solid, liquid, and gas

Why is Water Important? Can dissolve just about anything Liquid water can carry substances around cells, organisms, ecosystems, or the planet Oceans help to moderate Earth’s temperature

Water is a polar compound… Shares e- unevenly Oxygen atom has a slight - charge, the Hydrogen atoms take on a slight + charge gy/Biology1111/animations/hydrogenbond s.html gy/Biology1111/animations/hydrogenbond s.html

It is water’s polarity that gives it many of its unique properties…

Hydrogen Bonding Results from attraction between + & - Water can form H-bonds with up to 4 neighboring water molecules

In liquid water, H bonds form and break quickly – wer.php?oid=1380&mid=57 wer.php?oid=1380&mid=57http:// wer.php?oid=1380&mid=57 In solid ice, H bonds lock water molecules in place – wer.php?oid=1381&mid=57 wer.php?oid=1381&mid=57http:// wer.php?oid=1381&mid=57 What happens when water evaporates??

Extremely large liquid range (0 o C o C) Expands, becomes less dense as a solid

Cohesion Water molecules have a strong tendency to stick to one another Cohesion allows water to have a high degree of surface tension –Any force is transmitted to the column of water as a whole

Adhesion Ability of water to stick to other substances, esp. charged atoms or molecules Together, cohesion and adhesion allow for capillary action
