Water Properties Identification

Master water properties like adhesion, cohesion, and surface tension!

Match the properties of water with their correct definition. adhesion water's ability to stick to other substances cohesion water's ability to stick to other water molecules polar molecule a molecule with an uneven charge (one positive and one negative end) universal solvent Water is often called this because of its ability to dissolve most substances. specific heat the rate that a substance heats up or cools down. capillary action water's tendency to climb up tubes because of adhesion and cohesion surface tension molecules of water stick together at the surface of water allowing some things to sit on the surface. hydrogen bonding attraction between water molecules due to polarity ionic bond bond made by transferring electrons from one atom to another covalent bond bond made from sharing of electrons between atoms homeostasis self-regulating process by which an organism tends to maintain stable conditions (body temperature, pH, etc.)
