ions
atoms with a diff. number of neutrons are called ___________
isotypes

Describe how water is a polar molecule
The polarity (positive or negative charge) allows it to make hydrogen bonds—> this allows one water molecule to bond with 4 others.
Cohesion
water molecules bonding to other water molecules
adhesion
water molecules sticking to something other than water molecules
surface tension
water molecules linking together on the surface of a body of water
high heat evaporation
large of amount of water is required to change water from a liquid to a gas.
water is less dense as a solid
when water reaches a certain temp (4 c) the hydrogen bonds changes angles plus molecules get further apart.
