6.6 Water's Prop
Water's Properties
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Boiling Point | The temperature at which a substance changes states from a liquid to a gas |
| Cohesion | The action of molecules sticking together |
| Compound | A new substance with unique chemical and physical properties formed when two or more elements are chemically bonded during a chemical reaction |
| Insoluble | Unable to form a solution with a given solvent |
| Polar | Describes a molecule in which one or more atoms is slightly negative and one or more is slightly positive |
| Soluble | Able to be dissolved in another substance to form a homogeneous mixture |
| Solute | A substance that dissolves in another substance (solvent) to form a homogeneous mixture |
| Specific Heat | The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of an object by one degree |
| States of Matter | Distinct forms of matter known in everyday experience: solid, liquid, and gas; also referred to as phases |
| Surface Tension | A measure of the ability of a liquid to resist a downward force through its surface |
| Thermal Energy | The total kinetic (motion) energy of the tiny particles that make up matter; the faster the particles move, the warmer the matter becomes |
| Climate | Average weather patterns for a particular region |
| Deposition | The process by which gravity, water, wind, and ice deposit weathered and relocated sediment |
| Erosion | The process by which gravity, water, wind, and ice remove and transport sediment from one place to another |
| Sediment | Earth material that is broken down by processes of weathering; can be eroded and deposited by the agents of water, wind, ice, and gravity |
| Weathering | The mechanical or chemical processes by which gravity, water, wind, and ice break rocks into smaller pieces |
| Adhesion | means that water likes to stick to other things. |
