Properties of Water
2
Water is the molecule of life. Water has very unique and important properties. O HH
3
O H H + + _ Water is polar! Negative end Positive end H2OH2O O H H Covalent bonds
4
_ _ _ _ _ + + + + + + + + + + Hydrogen bonds Water molecules are attracted to each other…
5
Hydrogen bonds are responsible for many important properties of water: Water has a relatively high boiling point Ice is less dense than liquid water. Water has a high specific heat Cohesion and Adhesion Water is a universal solvent
6
C Water has a relatively high boiling point
7
Ice is less dense than liquid water.
8
Water has a high specific heat. The water in this pond remains cool even in the summer.
9
Cohesion makes water molecules stick to each other forming beads. Surface tension
10
Adhesion - Water sticks to other things. Water sticks to leave Water climbs up side of test tube
11
Solvent --- water Solute --- sugar Water is a universal solvent
