Q

Describe the shape of water

A

V-shaped 2 h and 1o connected with polar covalent bonds
Oxygen is more electronegative so the e of covalent bond spend more time there
V-shaped makesit polar molecule with oxygen slightly neg and hydrogen slightly POS

Q

Explain cohesion and adhesion

A

Cohesion = b/n H 20 molecules
Adhesion = H 20 and other
Plants transport h20frm roots to leaves usury xylem via capillary action: cohesion and adhesion to xylem cell walls

Q

High specific Heat

A

Most energy needed to break H-bonds than any other intermolecular bond
Refers to amount of heat absorbed/lost for one g change

Q

What is evaporation how does it relate to evaporate cooling

A

It molecules more fast enough they can break attraction and break off
Evaporative cooling; stabilize temp the hottest leave
