STRUCTURE & PROPERTIES OF WATER

Discover why water is amazing! Learn about its structure, polarity, and unique properties like adhesion and cohesion.

Drawing the Water Molecule Draw the structure of a water molecule. Then label the two hydrogen atoms and the oxygen atom. Lastly, add in the charges that each atom has. Match the vocabulary word about water with its description. adhesion water can stick to other things cohesion water sticks to itself polar molecule molecule with a positive end & a negative end nonpolar molecule substances that do not have charged ends capillary action the combination of two forces, adhesion and cohesion, that allows water to move up a tube surface tension tendency of a liquids surface to resist breaking when placed under tension or stress Which diagram is water? Which one is ice? Fill in the tags with either "water" or "ice". water ice The chemical formula for water is... HO HO2 H2O Which word completes the following statement: Water _ when it freezes. contracts expands dissolves Ice is denser than water, which is why it floats. true false What does cohesive mean? sticky repellent loose We were able to dye our carnation flowers due to-- surface tension capillary action specific heat The water molecules are held to each other through a special type of bond known as a ionic bond hydrogen bond double bond Fill in the blanks with the correct term. 1. The tightness across the surface of water that is caused by the polar molecules pulling on one another is called surface tension.2. Water is good at dissolving things because it is polar.3. Water has a high specific heat which means it takes a lot of energy for its temperature to increase.4. The term used to describe the property of water that allows it to stick to itself is called cohesion.5. The term used to describe the property of water that allows it to stick to other things is called adhesion. Which word pair best describes the ability of the water strider to stay afloat. polar, nonpolar adhesion, capillary action cohesion, surface tension
