Polarity of Water In a water molecule two hydrogen atoms form single polar covalent bonds with an oxygen atom. (Gives water more structure than other liquids) In a water molecule two hydrogen atoms form single polar covalent bonds with an oxygen atom. (Gives water more structure than other liquids) Oxygen has a partial negative charge.Oxygen has a partial negative charge. Hydrogen atoms have a partial positive charge.Hydrogen atoms have a partial positive charge. A water molecule is a polar molecule with opposite ends of the molecule with opposite charges. A water molecule is a polar molecule with opposite ends of the molecule with opposite charges.

Interaction Between Water Molecules Negative Oxygen end of one water molecule is attracted to the Positive Hydrogen end of another water molecule to form a HYDROGEN BOND

Hydrogen Bonds Exist Between Water Molecules Formed between a highly Electronegative atom of a polar molecule and a Hydrogen Formed between a highly Electronegative atom of a polar molecule and a Hydrogen One hydrogen bond is weak, but many hydrogen bonds are strong One hydrogen bond is weak, but many hydrogen bonds are strong Each water molecule can form hydrogen bonds with up to four neighbors.

Cohesion Attraction between particles of the same substance ( why water is attracted to itself) Attraction between particles of the same substance ( why water is attracted to itself) Results in Surface tension (a measure of the strength of water’s surface) Results in Surface tension (a measure of the strength of water’s surface) Produces a surface film on water that allows insects to walk on the surface of water Produces a surface film on water that allows insects to walk on the surface of water
10
Surface tension, a measure of the force necessary to stretch or break the surface of a liquid, is related to cohesion. Surface tension, a measure of the force necessary to stretch or break the surface of a liquid, is related to cohesion. Water has a greater surface tension than most other liquids because hydrogen bonds among surface water molecules resist stretching or breaking the surface.Water has a greater surface tension than most other liquids because hydrogen bonds among surface water molecules resist stretching or breaking the surface. Some animals can stand, walk, or run on water without breaking the surface.Some animals can stand, walk, or run on water without breaking the surface.

Adhesion Attraction between two different substances. Attraction between two different substances. Water will make hydrogen bonds with other surfaces such as glass, soil, plant tissues, and cotton. Water will make hydrogen bonds with other surfaces such as glass, soil, plant tissues, and cotton. Capillary action -water molecules will “tow” each other along when in a thin glass tube. Capillary action -water molecules will “tow” each other along when in a thin glass tube.
14
Capillary action occurs when the forces binding a liquid together (cohesion and surface tension) and the forces attracting that bound liquid to another surface (adhesion) are greater than the force of gravity. droplets.
15
Adhesion Causes Capillary Action Which gives water the ability to “climb” structures
16
Plants rely on capillary action Cohesion among water molecules plays a key role in the transport of water against gravity in plants Cohesion among water molecules plays a key role in the transport of water against gravity in plants Adhesion, clinging of one substance to another, contributes too, as water adheres to the wall of the vessels. Adhesion, clinging of one substance to another, contributes too, as water adheres to the wall of the vessels.

Capillary Action = cohesion + adhesion

Homeostasis Ability to maintain a steady state despite changing conditions Ability to maintain a steady state despite changing conditions Water is important to this process because: Water is important to this process because: a. Makes a good insulator b. Resists temperature change c Coolant d. Ice protects against temperature extremes (insulates frozen lakes)
21
Specific Heat is the amount of heat that must be absorbed or lost for one gram of a substance to change its temperature by 1 o C. 3/4 of the earth is covered by water. The water serves as a large heat sink responsible for: Prevention of temperature fluctuations that are outside the range suitable for life. Coastal areas having a mild climate A stable marine environment
22
Water vapor forms a kind of global ‘‘blanket” which helps to keep the Earth warm. Water vapor forms a kind of global ‘‘blanket” which helps to keep the Earth warm. Heat radiated from the sun warmed surface of the earth is Heat radiated from the sun warmed surface of the earth is absorbed and held absorbed and held by the vapor. by the vapor. Insulates the Earth
23
Evaporative Cooling The cooling of a surface occurs when the liquid evaporates The cooling of a surface occurs when the liquid evaporates This is responsible for: This is responsible for: Moderating earth’s climate (as mentioned before)Moderating earth’s climate (as mentioned before) Stabilizes temperature in aquatic ecosystemsStabilizes temperature in aquatic ecosystems Preventing organisms from overheatingPreventing organisms from overheating
24
Density of Water The density of water: 1.Prevents water from freezing from the bottom up. 2.Ice forms on the surface first —the freezing of the water releases heat to the water below creating insulation. 3.Makes transition between seasons less abrupt.

When water reaches 0 o C, water becomes locked into a crystalline lattice with each molecule bonded to the maximum of four partners.When water reaches 0 o C, water becomes locked into a crystalline lattice with each molecule bonded to the maximum of four partners. As ice starts to melt, some of the hydrogen bonds break and some water molecules can slip closer together than they can while in the ice state.As ice starts to melt, some of the hydrogen bonds break and some water molecules can slip closer together than they can while in the ice state. Ice is about 10% less dense than water at 4 o C.Ice is about 10% less dense than water at 4 o C. Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Fig. 3.5
