Properties of Water
Like repels – push apartOpposite attracts – come together Magnet – like charges repel; unlike (opposite) charges attract Electrically charged particles are polar
Polarity • Oxygen - negative • Hydrogen - positive • Magnet – like charges repel; unlike (opposite) charges attract • Electrically charged particles are polar • Wateris a“polar molecule”
Water is a Polar Molecule • The polar nature of water molecules causes the molecules to attract each other. Like weak magnets, a positive pole (hydrogen) on each water molelcule attracts thenegative pole (oxygen) • This attraction causes molecules to form temporary bonds. These bonds form and break easily, and help water to stick together.
Water being a Polar Molecule causes it to have many unique properties. Demo
Surface Tension • A force that causes the tightness across the surface of water • Caused bypolar molecules • Examples • water strider walking on water • raindrops beading on car windshield
Adhesion– is the attractive force between two differentsubstances that are in contact with each other. • Because of their shape, water molecules are attracted to other substances - Ex: Band-Aids • Ex: Drops of water left on your skin after a swim
. Cohesion - the force that holds molecules of a single material together • Because of their shape water molecules are attracted to one another. • Water forms “drops” because of cohesion. • Cohesion is responsible for clouds forming in the atmosphere (drops attract drops)
We see evidence of adhesion and cohesion and surface tension every day. Here’s an example.
Capillary Action • The movement of water within the spaces of a porous material due to the forces of adhesion, cohesion and surface tension
Molecules in Motion • Candy – roll it around • Molecules in motion • Dissolving • Solute • Solvent • Solution Leads us to another Property of Water
Universal Solvent • Solute – the dissolved substance – Candy • Solvent – liquid capable of dissolving - Saliva • Solution – a substance dissolved in water – the substance after the candy has dissolved with your saliva • Water is called theUniversal Solventbecause it can dissolve more substances than any other known substance. Most substances dissolve in WATER
Water Changes States • Evaporation • Condensation
Density – the amount of mass per volume in a given substance D=m/vDifferent of Different Substances Density of water is 1g/cm3 Ice – 0.92g/cm3 Oil – 0.8 g/cm3 Aluminum – 2.7 g/cm3 Iron – 7.87 g/cm3 Glass – 2.6 g/cm3 Oak (wood)– 0.7 g/cm3 Dogwood – 0.75 g/cm3
1. When water cools, the molecules line up in a grid like crystal structure 2. The molecules take up more space as ice than it did in liquid form Therefore, ice is less dense than liquid water Density of water is 1g/cm3 It has buoyancy - the ability to float Why Ice Floats
Ice Floating • Important for fish and other organisms that live in water. WHY? • When lakes and ponds freeze in winter, the ice stays at the top. • The fish are able to live in the water below the ice and find food on the bottom of the lake. • If ice acted as most substances do when they freeze, the ice would sink to the bottom of the lake as it formed. Oh no!! What would happen to the “TURTLES”!!
Review: Density of Water • Density of water = 1g/cm3 • Water becomes less dense when it becomes a solid. • Reason: Due to the water molecules grid-like structure; ice is less dense than water • **Water is actually most dense at 40C
If the buoyant force is greater than or equal to the weight of the object, than it will float
Specific Heat - continued • Water requires a lot of heat to increase its temperature • Water has a high specific heat due to the many attractions among water molecules • Effect: • Land has less dramatic temperature changes • Air is warmer inland than on the coast • Water remains warm and keeps the air above it warmer than the air over the cold land
Water and Land - different temperatures because of Specific Heat

Properties of Water Many are due to it’s Polar StructureOne Negative Oxygen atom + 2 Positive Hydrogen atoms = • Surface Tension • Adhesion – cohesion – capillary action • Universal solvent • Ice floats • Condensation – Evaporation • Specific Heat • Density of water – 1g/cm3 H2O
