Define polarity
A water molecule is a polar molecule with opposite ends of the molecule with opposite charges.
All properties of water (know them, know examples, be able to explain each thoroughly)--- Adhesion
Adhesion - is the property of water that causes water to "stick" to other substances.---ex. glass of water sweats and sticks to a coaster.
All properties of water (know them, know examples, be able to explain each thoroughly)--- Capillary action
Capillary action - describes how water moves against gravity and can travel up a plants roots into its stem and leaves.
All properties of water (know them, know examples, be able to explain each thoroughly)--- Cohesion
Cohesion - is the property of water that causes water molecules to "stick" to each other.
All properties of water (know them, know examples, be able to explain each thoroughly)--- High Specific heat
High Specific Heat- describes the capacity of water to hold on to its heat.
All properties of water (know them, know examples, be able to explain each thoroughly)--- Universal solvent
Universal solvent - water is called the __________ __________ because of its ability to dissolve so many different substances.

All properties of water (know them, know examples, be able to explain each thoroughly)--- Surface tension
Surface tension - describes how the surface of water acts like a skin and seals up quickly after being disturbed. This allows water striders and some lizards to appear to "walk" on water.
What are hydrogen bonds?
The slightly negative regions of one molecule are attracted to the slightly positive regions of nearby molecules.
