Mod 1 Quiz 1: Water and its properties Flashcards
Ionic Bonds
Transfer of electrons
Covalent Bonds
Shared electrons
Polar Covalent Bonds
unequal sharing of electrons
Hydrogen Bonds
IMF or Intermolecular force (attraction between molecules, not atoms) between water molecules
Polar Molecule
Water
- Bent Shape that causes each end to have a partial charge
- polar covalent bonds between oxygen and hydrogen. Oxygen is more electronegative, so it hogs all the electrons.
- attracted to other polar molecules and ions b/c of partial charge and repels nonpolar molecules

Evaporation
Water goes from a liquid to a gas
Condensation
Water goes from a gas to a liquid
Freezing
Going from a liquid to a solid
Melting
going from a solid to a liquid
Precipitation
Falling from the sky
Transpiration
Water evaporating of the leaves
Evaporative Cooling
When our sweat evaporates, the water that goes from a liquid to a gas takes the heat with it, leaving a cooling effect. Heat leaves the body
Cohesion
Water molecules will stick to each other because they are attracted to each other (hydrogen bonds)
Adhesion
Water Molecules will stick to other things because they attracted to them (because of hydrogen bonds)
Capillary Action
Water flows against gravity in narrow spaces
Surface Tension
appearance of skin on top of water will allow it to resist other forces (because of cohesion)
Boiling Point
The temperature at which water goes from a liquid to a gas (100 degrees celsius and 212 degrees farenheight)
Freezing Point
The temperature at which water goes from a liquid to a solid (0 degrees celsius and 32 degrees farenheit)
universal solvent
a substance that can dissolve many substances.
hydrophillic
attracted to water
hydrophobic
not attracted to water
solution
homogeneous mixture (cannot see particles)
Solute
the thing that gets dissolve
Solvent
the thing that does the dissolving
aqueous solution
solution in which water is the solvent
pH
the amount of hydrogen ions in an aqueous solution
Acidic
below 7
neutral
at 7
basic
above 7
