Water & Its Properties Whole Lesson

The document discusses several key properties of water molecules and how they contribute to water's unique characteristics. It explains that water molecules form hydrogen bonds with each other, giving water high cohesion and adhesion. This allows water to have high surface tension, capillary action, and a high heat of vaporization. Additionally, ice is less dense than liquid water, so it floats, which has important implications for life. These underlying properties of water molecules help enable many natural processes.

L1. WATER & ITS


PROPERTIES

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

Suggest some properties of water (D)


Draw the structure of a water molecule
include the dipole charge (C)
Link the properties in water to its uses in
nature (A)

WATER

A water molecule (H2O), is made up of


three atoms --- one oxygen and two
hydrogen.
H

HYDROGEN BONDS EXIST BETWEEN WATER MOLECULES

Formed between a highly


Electronegative atom of a
polar molecule and a Hydrogen
One hydrogen bond is weak ,
but many hydrogen bonds are
strong

Negative Oxygen end of one water molecule is


attracted to the Positive Hydrogen end of another
water molecule to form a HYDROGEN BOND

INTERACTION BETWEEN WATER

PROPERTIES OF WATER
Cohesion
Adhesion
High

Specific Heat
High Heat of Vaporization
Less Dense as a Solid

COHESION

Helps insects walk across water

COHESION

Attraction between particles of the same


substance ( why water is attracted to itself)
Results in Surface tension (a measure of the
strength of waters surface)
Produces a surface film on water that allows
insects to walk on the surface of water

ADHESION

Attraction between two different substances.


Water will make hydrogen bonds with other
surfaces such as glass, soil, plant tissues, and
cotton.
Capillary action-water molecules will tow each
other along when in a thin glass tube.
Example: transpiration process which plants and
trees remove water from the soil, and paper
towels soak up water.

Which gives water the ability to


climb structures

ADHESION CAUSES CAPILLARY


ACTION

HIGH SPECIFIC HEAT

Amount of heat needed to raise or lower 1g of a


substance 1 C.

Water resists temperature change, both for


heating and cooling.

Water can absorb or release large amounts of


heat energy with little change in actual
temperature.

WATER IS LESS DENSE AS A SOLID

Ice is less dense as a solid than as a liquid (ice


floats)

Liquid water has hydrogen bonds that are


constantly being broken and reformed.

Frozen water forms a crystal-like lattice whereby


molecules are set at fixed distances.

Water is Less Dense as a Solid


Which is ice and which is water?
