Water 1
Formula for water
H2O
When two of the same water molecules bond to each other.
Cohesion
Water expands as it freezes, stabilizing these types of bonds and making it less dense and able to float.
hydrogen bonds
Bond between H and O in water
Polar covalent bond
While most substances can dissolve in water, these will not.
Lipids
Water changing from the liquid phase to this phase requires energy to break the hydrogen bonds between the water molecules.
gas or vapor
The charge of a molecule that would be attracted to the oxygen of a water molecule.
positive charge
Plants can float on water, able to absorb more sunlight, due to this property of water.
High Surface Tension
As water flows through the cells in plants, which property keeps the water molecules continuously connected to each other?
cohesion
Bond attracting water molecules together.
hydrogen bond
Water dissolving salt and general high solvency is due to this.
adhesion
Sweating is a mechanism used to cool the body and maintain homeostasis. As liquid water turns to a gas, a significant amount of energy holding water molecules together is released as they break. This resistance to changing phase is known as this.
High Heat Capacity
