water
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Adhesion | water molecules stick to other materials |
| cohesion | occurrence of water sticking to the other water molecules |
| polar molecule | a compound with one negatively charged side and one positively charged side is called a polar molecule |
| hydrogen bond | the hydrogen atom attracts the oxygen side of a different water molecule |
| surface tension | water has a thin skin due to the water molecules sticking to each other |
| capillary action | cohesion and adhesion work to gather to allow water to travel against gravity and move up a plant system. this is called capillary action |
| specific heat capacity | specific heat is the amount of heat required to change the temp of a unit mass of a given substance by a unit amount |
| expansion upon freezing | water decreasing in temp, the molecules move away from each other causing an increase in volume |
| universal solvent | water is universal solvent because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid |
