Bonds
A bond that shares electrons
Covalent
Water sticks to itself
Cohesion
Why does water stick to itself?
(What is special about the water molecule?)
It's Polar
Water Loving
Dissolves easily in water
Hydrophilic
Type of bond between 2 water molecules
Hydrogen Bond
Small light objects can "sit" on top of water
Surface Tension
This bond allows for Surface Tension
Hydrogen Bonds
Bonds between water molecules
Water is composed of these two elements
Hydrogen (2) and Oxygen (1)
Why covalent bonds are so strong
They share electrons
Water can 'pull' on itself to move
Capillary action
Capillary action relies on this property to pull water along a surface
Adhesion
Water Fearing
Will not mix with water
Hydrophobic
In water, this element is greedy and takes more of the electrons
Oxygen
Water sticks to other surfaces or things
Adhesion
What is unique about water's solid state? (Ice)
It is less dense than it's liquid state (water)
Hydrogen atoms in water act as though they are _____? (electrical charge)
Positive
What does 'Polar' mean?
Unequal
or
Unequal sharing of electrons
Water takes a lot of energy to heat up because it has this property
High Specific Heat
Water's ability to dissolve most things
Universal Solvent
Why is water attracted to electricity?
It's Polar
