1. KEY CONCEPT Water’s unique properties allow life to exist on Earth.

2. Life depends on hydrogen bonds in water.
Water is a polar molecule.
Polar molecules have slightly charged regions. O H _ +
Atom: Oxygen
Charge: Slightly negative
Hydrogen bonds
Explain: form between slightly positive hydrogen atoms and slightly negative atoms. (oxygen)
Atom: Hydrogen
Charge: Slightly positive
Nonpolar molecules do not have charged regions.

3. Hydrogen bonds are responsible for three important properties of water.
High Specific Heat: water resists changes in temp. – a lot of energy is required
Ex.: Provides stability of temperature for land masses surrounded by water & for the temperature of the human body, & makes it an effective cooling agent.
Cohesion: water molecules stick to each other.
Ex.: Surface tension holds spiders on water
Adhesion: water molecules stick to other things.
Ex.: Blood sticks to capillaries

5. Solid ice is less dense than liquid water
Ice floats on water: one of the only solids to float on its liquid form – due to arrangement of water molecules due to charged regions (water is polar). Provides insulation for water below (stays at about 4 degrees C – freezing point is 0 degrees C)

8. Many compounds dissolve in water.
A solution is formed when one substance dissolves in another.
A solution is a homogeneous mixture.
Parts of a solution (Ex. Salt water):
Solvents dissolve other substances (Ex.: Water)
Solutes dissolve in a solvent. (Ex. Salt)
solution

9. “Like dissolves like.”
Polar solvents dissolve polar solutes. (Ex.: sugar water)
Nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes.
Polar substances and nonpolar substances generally remain separate (think of salad dressing – forms a suspension when shaken)
Colloid: Particles intermediate in size between those found in solutions and suspensions can be mixed such that they remain evenly distributed without settling out. Ex.: Blood, milk
