Structure of Water
This type of bond forms between oxygen and hydrogen atoms in a single water molecule.
What is a covalent bond?
This term describes the attraction between water molecules due to hydrogen bonding.
What is Cohesion?
This is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius.
What is Specific Heat?
A solution with a pH below 7 is considered this.
What is Acidic?
This type of bond forms between the slightly positive hydrogen of one water molecule and the slightly negative oxygen of another water molecule.
What is a hydrogen bond?
This is the property of water that causes it to stick to other surfaces, like the walls of plant cells.
What is Adhesion?
This term refers to the process by which water helps to cool organisms.
What is evaporative cooling?
This ion is present in greater amounts in basic solutions.
What is Hydroxide (OH-)
Because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, water molecules are described as this type of molecule.
What is a polar molecule?
This is the measure of how difficult it is to break the surface of a liquid.
What is surface tension?
Water has a high value for this, meaning it takes a lot of energy to convert it from a liquid to a gas.
What is Heat of Vaporization?
This term refers to a substance that minimizes changes in pH by accepting or donating H+ ions
Daily Double Chemistry review: This word describes the molecular structure of H2O
What is Bent?
This is the combined action of cohesion and adhesion that allows water to rise against gravity in plants.
What is Capillary Action.
This property of water allows bodies of water to freeze from the top down, creating a habitat for life below and above the ice.
What is expansion(lower density, crystalline structure)
This environmental issue results from the absorption of excess atmospheric CO₂ by the oceans, leading to lower pH levels.
What is ocean acidification.(Carbonic Acid)
