Chapter 2.2 Flashcards
What does it mean for water to be polar?
have slightly charged regions.
Polar molecules have _______ _______ regions
slightly charged
What is H2O made up of
H + OH-
weak bond formed between slightly _______ hydrogen atoms
and slightly ______ oxygen atoms so partial
positive, negative
charge on _ end and partial +
charge on other end
1
can therefore attract 1 another allowing
for many of water’s special properties
polar molecules
Polarity leads to ______ _______ of water
unique properties
H bonds form between water molecules leading to
cohesion
& surface tension & capillary action
water ____ to other water molecules
sticks
bond that forms H2O
covalent bond
bond that connects H20 with other molecules
hydrogen bond
water sticks to other substances causing curve
in a meniscus
ADHESION
water heats up slowly in large
bodies of water so the temp of water in the oceans does
not change drastically (Whew! What a relief for the fishies
and other life!)
specific heat capacity
also _____ absorbs heat from body cells in order to
regulate temp control at cellular and organism levels
which helps with homeostasis
blood
mixtures
solutions and suspensions
