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.
