Chapter 1 Water Review

Vocabulary review for the test on water.

AB
water vaporwater changing from a liquid to a gas
moleculesthe smallest particles of water
mixturetwo or more substances that combine and keep their own properties
oceanswhere most water evaporates from
dropletsform when air is cooled and water molecules move more slowly
cohesionthe ability of water molecules to attach to other water molecules
densityice floats when water freezes because the hydrogen bonds spread out and trap air
capillary actionthe ability of water to move up through a tube by attaching to its surface, how water moves up through a plant
solutionsall the molecules of the dissolved substance spread out evenly
solidwhat water becomems when the temperature decreases
PolarityNegative Oxygen and Positive Hydrogen
covalent bondthe hydrogen and oxygen of a water molecule bind with this strong bond where electrons are shared
surface tensionthe force holding water molecules together at the top to form a kind of skin
Hydrogen Bondwater binds to other water molecules with this weak bond
water cyclewater moving throught the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere
Water Molecule contains2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen
Heat Capacityproperty of water in that water can hold a lot of heat energy without changing the temperature of the water
Great Solventbecause of its polarity water can dissolve other polar substances (not fats)
adhesionthe ability of water to attach to other molecules than itself
solutea molecule/compound that can dissolve in water or a solvent
