Bonds
The basic unit of matter.
What are atoms?
This property allows water to dissolve many substances.
What is the Universal Solvent?
This is the mixture of a solvent and a solute.
What is a solution?
This is the mass of a defined volume of water divided by its volume.
What is density?
This is how an increase in pressure affects density.
What causes a decrease in density?
This type of bond forms when two atoms share electrons.
This property allows water to absorb large amounts of heat to change its state of matter.
What is specific heat capacity?
This is the most important factor in determining salinity.
What is temperature?
It is mass/volume.
What is the equation representing density?
This is an area of water where density changes quickly with depth.
What is the pycnocline?
This type of bond forms when atoms gain or lose an electron on their outer shell.
What are ionic bonds?
This is the most dense form of water.
What is a liquid?
This is the measure of hydrogen ions in a substance.
What is pH?
It causes ocean circulation.
What does the changing density of seawater cause?
This is where the mixing of layers can occur.
These bonds are easily breakable and occurs between polar molcules.
What are hydrogen bonds?
As this happens, water molecules are actively spreading apart.
What is warming up?
What is the pH level of the ocean?
Less dense water rises to here.
What is the surface of the ocean?
This is a cause of currents, waves, and turbulence.
How does wind affect the mixing of layers?
This is a polar molecule that is easily dissolved in water.
Sodium Chloride.
As this happens, water molecules are moving closer to each other.
What is cooling down?
This is the mathematical representation of the pH scale.
What is logarithmic?
This is how a rise in temperature affects density.
What causes a decrease in density?
This is a major cause of the mixing of layers.
What is density?
