10 Properties of Water

Polar covalent bonds are a type of covalent bond and means unequal sharing of electrons.

Polar Covalent Bond

High Heat Capacity - huge amount of heat stored.Water's heat capacity stores a lot of heat which is why it is difficult to boil water.

High Heat Capacity

Density - the amount of thickness in a substance. Water's density is less and more stable as a solid.

Density

Capillary Action - is the movement of liquid to slide through narrow areas by the attraction of molecules of the liquid to the molecules of the solid.

Solute - substance dissolved in a solevent to form a solution.

Solute

Capillary Action

Solvent - fluid that dissolves solute.

Solvent

Surface Tension - water is pulled together creating the smallest surface area possible.

Surface Tension

Cohesion - water attracted to other water molecules becayse of polar properties.

Cohesion

Adhesion - water attracted to other molecules.

Adhesion

Gas, Liquid, and Solid - are known as the three states of matter or material, but each of solid and liquid states may exist in one or more forms
