Polarity Party
This part of a water molecule has a slight negative charge.
What is the oxygen atom?
This property of water allows it to form droplets and gives it surface tension.
What is cohesion?
Water is able to dissolve substances like salt because it can form these around charged particles.
What are hydration shells?
This scale measures the acidity or basicity of a solution.
What is the pH scale?
The attraction between the slightly positive hydrogen atoms of one water molecule and the slightly negative oxygen atoms of another water molecule is called this.
What is a hydrogen bond?
When water evaporates, it takes this form of energy with it, helping to cool organisms.
What is heat energy?
Water dissolves this kind of compound because it has positive and negative charges that interact with water's polarity.
What is an ionic compound?
A pH of 7 is considered this, meaning it is neither acidic nor basic.
What is neutral?
Water molecules have this shape due to the repulsion between the hydrogen atoms.
What is a bent shape or V-shape?
This happens when water molecules form a lattice structure in cold temperatures, making it less dense than liquid water.
What is freezing or the formation of ice?
The property of water that makes it an excellent solvent is due to this characteristic.
What is polarity?
This substance lowers the pH of a solution by donating hydrogen ions.
What is an acid?
Water molecules attract other polar molecules through these interactions.
What are hydrogen bonds?
This property allows water to travel up plant stems, demonstrated when water climbs up a straw.
What is adhesion?
When water dissolves a sugar molecule, these types of bonds form between the water and sugar molecules.
What are hydrogen bonds?
A pH of 2 represents __________ times higher H+ concentration than a pH of 7
What is 100,000? (or 105)
