electron configuration of water
(1s2)sp3 hybridised , energy level is between s and p
electronegativity
tendency of an atom to attract electrons
water shape and bond angle
tetrahedral and 104.5, as the 2 lone pairs repel more than the bonding pairs
hydrogen bonds in water
higher boiling point
higher cohesion
high heat of vaporisation
ice less dense than water
surface tension
high specific heat capacity
heat of vaporisation
energy to convert 1kg of water from liquid to gas at 25 degrees
high specific heat capacity
amount of heat in order to alter temp of 1g of water by 1 degree
water resists changes in temp- buffers it
the oil drop effect
h2o next to non polar hydrophobic molecules cant form h bonds so are less stable, so to maximise h bonds non polar molecules cluster together
molecular mas
sum of all atoms in a molecule
eg h2o
=18
avogadros number
1 mole of a compound always contains 6.02x10^23
kw equations
kw=[h+][OH-] / [H2O]
kw= [H+][OH-] = 10^-14
