Tension on the surface that makes particles attract to the middle creating a bulk of liquid.
What is the Surface Tension?
100
When water clings to polar molecules through hydrogen bonding. It refers to attraction to other water molecules, and this is responsible for surface tension.
What is Cohesion?
100
Substance that is less dense in solid form than it is in liquid form.
What is Ice?
100
96.5% of Earth's water.
What is Salt/Ocean Water?
100
•Is made up of three atoms (1oxygen,2hydrogen)
•Forms from hydrogen bonds
•Formed between highly electronegative atom of a polar molecule and a hydrogen molecule
What is H2O (Aka Water Molecule)?
200
A substance in which a solute dissolves.
What is Solvent?
200
The amount of heat needed to raise or lower 1 gram of substance 1ºC.
What is Specific Heat?
200
Gaseous form of water, that can be formed through evaporation, boiling liquid water or sublimation.
What is Water Vapor?
200
2.5-3% of Earths water.
What is freshwater?
200
Causes a lopsided shape and act like a chemical magnet.
What is Uneven distribution of electrical charges?
300
The process of when moisture is carried from roots to under leaves in plants. Then it is released into the atmosphere.
What is Transpiration?
300
This refers to attraction to other substances.
What is Adhesion?
300
Process of converting a liquid to a gas caused by heat.
What is Evaporation?
300
0.93% of Earth's water.
What is Saline Groundwater?
300
Temperature expands at this temperature.
What is 38ºF?
400
A molecule that has a negative charge on one end and positive on the other end.
What is Polar Molecule?
400
This is polar, the charged ends of its water molecule attract the molecules of other polar substances.
What is Water, the Universal Solvent?
400
•Water expands when it, solidifies.
•Water meets max density at 4ºc.
•Water freezes from top to bottom.
What are the reasons why oceans and lakes don't freeze all the way through?
400
0.07% of Earth's Water.
What are Saline Lakes.
400
Usable water on Earth.
What is about 1%?
500
A tendency of a liquid that rises and falls depending on surface tension.
What is Capillary Action?
500
•The amount of energy to convert 1g of a substance form a liquid to a gas
•In order for this to happen, hydrogen bond be broken
•It removes a lot of heat from the substance when it occurs
What is High Heat of Vaporization?
500
The process of converting a solid directly into a gas.
What is Sublimation?
500
Amount of total freshwater that glaciers hold.
What is 69%?
500
It is the only natural substance that occurs in all 3 forms naturally.
