Properties Of Water
Heat Capacity It takes a lot of heat to make hot water. This helps regulate temperature ranges worldwide. Naturally Occurs In All 3 States
You can find examples of water in all 3 phases in nature! Gas: Water vapor in the air Liquid: Water in a pond Solid: Ice on the surface of a pond.
Universal Solvent
Water dissolves a lot of other substances Its charged molecules and can dissolve them.EX: Water and salt.
Cohesive
Water molecules are attracted to other water molecules. This explains waters are very spherical drop shape
Heat Capacity
It takes a lot of heat to make hot water. This helps regulate temperature ranges worldwide.
Surface Tension
The top layer of water molecules are extra cohesive and likely to create a skin-life surface.
Polar Molecule
Water Molecules have a slight positive charge on the Hydrogen side and a slight negative charge on the oxygen side.
Density
Water becomes less dense when it freezes. This causes Ice to float on the water this supports the survival of aquatic life during the winter.
Adhesive
Water can also climb against gravity to bring water to a plant due to its adhesive to the stem.
