water-

Question 1

what is water

Answer 1

a major component of cells.

Question 2

What does water consists of

Answer 2

2 hydrogen atoms and a oxygen atom

Question 3

why is water a dipolar molecule

Answer 3

because of the slight negative oxygen atom and the slightly positive atom it creates a positive pole and a negative pole making it a dipolar molecule.

Question 4

what is the overall charge like in a water molecule

Answer 4

there is a uneven distribute of charges due to the negative oxygen and positive hydrogen hydrogen bonds forms between them.

Question 5

what are the properties of water

Answer 5

high specific heat capacity, cohesion and surface tension, high latent heat of vapourisation

Question 6

what is high specific heat capacity

Answer 6

water molecules stick together by hydrogen bond which mean that it requires lots of energy to break which makes water have a high heat capacity- very large range of tempreture= excellent medium for life on earth.
