| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| adhesion | water molecules stick to other materials |
| cohesion | water molecules stick to each other |
| polar molecule | a compound with one negatively charged side and one positively charged side is a polar molecule |
| hydrogen bond | the side with the hydrogen atoms (positive charge) attracts the oxygen side (negative charge) of a different water molecule. hydrogen bond |
| surface tension | water has a thin skin on its surface due to the water molecules sticking together. causes water to clump together in drops |
| capillary action | cohesion and adhesion working together: to allow water to travel against gravity and move up a plant stem |
| specific heat capacity | the amount of heat required to change the temperature of a unit mass of a given substance by a unit amount (usually a degree) |
| expansion upon freezing | an increase in volume with the same mass leads to a decrease in density, water frozen is less dense than regular water. |
| universal solvent | water is called this because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid. |
