The bond holding one water molecule together
Covalent bonds
What is water made of? And what is the charge of each
Hydrogen (+) and Oxygen (-)
Humans are _____% water
70
The substance being dissolved
Solute
The substance doing the dissolving
Solvent
The bond holding one water molecule to another
Hydrogen bonds
What is cohesion?
Water molecules sticking to each other using hydrogen bonds
What is adhesion?
Water molecules sticking to other things
A combination of two elements
A mixture
What is specific heat?
The amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of a substance
Uneven distribution of charges across a molecule
Polarity
What does cohesion cause?
Surface tension
What does adhesion cause?
Capillary action
Water is known as the _____________
Universal solvent
What is density?
How tightly packed atoms are
What happens to water molecules as the temperature DECREASES? How does the effect the density?
Hydrogen bonds expand which creates ice. This causes the ice to have a lower density
How does water’s high specific heat affect aquatic ecosystems?
Allows them to keep a stable environment (water temp will be lower than on land)
How does water’s density affect aquatic ecosystems?
During the winter ice freezes the top, insulating the bottom and allowing organisms to survive the winter. Ice has a lower density then liquid water
Why is water such a good solvent?
Both positive and negative charges to attract and pull molecules apart
What property allows water to go from the roots to the leaves of plant?
Capillary action (the combination of cohesion and adhesion)
In order for water to increase in temperature, what must happen?
Hydrogen bonds must break
Why is perspiration important?
Sweat gathers and releases heat energy as it evaporates
What is this symbol and what does it mean?
Delta and it means “partial” or “kinda”
Draw a water molecule
What type of molecule is water unable to dissolve?
Non-polar molecules
