Document Summary

Water properties: water consists of an oxygen atom bound to two hydrogen atoms by two single covalent bonds. Oxygen has unpaired & paired electrons which gives it a slightly negative charge while. Hydrogen has no unpaired electrons and shares all others with oxygen. Leaves molecule with positively and negative charged ends. Hence, water is a polar molecule as it has oppositely charged ends: water molecules form hydrogen bonds. Physical properties of water: cohesion, adhesion, capillarity, high specific heat, high heat of vaporization, solid water (ice) is less dense than liquid, solvent, transparent. Cohesion refers to attraction to other water molecules. Water clings to polar molecules through hydrogen bonding. Cohesion is responsible for surface tension which is a measure of the force necessary to stretch or break the surface of a liquid. Adhesion refers to attraction to other substances: water is adhesive to any substance with which it can form hydrogen bonds.

Circle the word of phrase that correctly completes the sentece or answers the question. The property that allows water molecule to be attracted to each other is called (cohesion, adhesion). This propert is conferred by (covalent bonds, hydrogen gonds). This property is conferred by ( covalent bond, hydrogen bond). Ice is ( more dense, less dense) than liquid water. Water is polar molecule because of the unequal sharing of( electrons, protons) between the atoms in H2O. Adhesion of water to a surface is through the action of (covalent bond, ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds) between the water and the surace. Water is converted from liquid to vapor through the brakage of ( colvalent, hydrogen) bonds. Which (one) of these substance is not hydrophilic:( cellulose, oil, NaCl). Which of these will not dissolve in water, even though it is polar?(cellulose, oil, NaCl). Which of these is an electrolyte? (cellusose oil, NaCl).
