What are the properties of water? 4 and explanations |
|
Definition
Heat storage: require a high amt of heat before they break, minimizing temperature changes Ice Formation: ice crystals are spaced far apart because of hydrogen bonding Vaporization: Hydrogen bonds much be broken in order for it to turn into air Cohesion: bonds hold melecules of water together, forms a dome before it spills over Adhesion: has the capacity to stick to objects, water travels up thetowel when placed in water High polarity: H2O molecules are attracted to ions and polar compounds |
