1
The water molecule is thus a
polar molecule
2
Polarity allows water molecules to
form hydrogen bonds with each other
3
Four of water’s properties that facilitate an environment for life areCohesive behavior
Cohesive behavior

Ability to moderate temperature

Expansion upon freezing

Versatility as a solvent
4
cohesion
Hydrogen bonds hold water molecules together
5
Hydrogen bonds hold water molecules together
cohesion
6
Cohesion helps the transport of
water against gravity in plants
7
Adhesion
attraction between different substances, e.g., between water and plant cell walls
8
attraction between different substances, e.g., between water and plant cell walls
Adhesion
9
Surface tension
is a measure of how difficult it is to break the surface of a liquid
10
is a measure of how difficult it is to break the surface of a liquid
Surface tension
11
Water..... heat from warmer air and..... stored heat to cooler air
absorbs, releases
12
Heat is absorbed when hydrogen bonds break
hydrogen bonds break
13

Heat is released when
hydrogen bonds form
14
solution

aqueous solution
where water is the solvent
18
hydrophilic (ionic, polar)
substance is one that has an
affinity for water
19
substance is one that has an
affinity for water
hydrophilic (ionic, polar)
20
