Unit 1 Topic 3

Vocab - Water

QuestionAnswer
Adhesion When water molecules stick to other materials.
Cohesion Cohesion is when water sticks to other water molecules via hydrogen bonds.
Polar molecule A compound with one negatively charged side and one positive charged side is called a polar molecule
Hydrogen bond The side with the hydrogen atoms (positive charge) attracts the oxygen side (negative side) of a different water molecule. This is called a Polar Molecule.
Surface Tension Water has a thin "skin" on its surface due to the water molecules sticking together.
Capillary action Cohesion and Adhesion work together to allow water to travel up a plants stem.
Specific heat capacity Water has a specific heat capacity, it is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of a unit mass of a given substance by a unit amount.
Expansion upon freezing As water decreases in temperature, the molecules move away from each other. This causes an increase in volume which leads to expansion upon freezing
Universal solvent Water is a universal solvent, it dissolves more substances more than any other liquid.
