polar molecule
water molecules have a slight
charge on the hydrogen
side and a slight
charge on
the oxygen side.
universal solvent
water
a lot
of other substances! its
charged molecules attract
other molecules and can
dissolve them.
ex:
naturally occurs
in all 3 states
you can find examples of water in
all 3
in nature!
: water vapor in the air
: water in a pond
: ice on the surface of
a pond
boil
freeze
heat capacity
it takes a lot of
to make
water hot. this helps regulate
ranges world - wide!
cohesive
water molecules are attracted to
(stick to) other
this explains waters very spherical drop
shape!
surface tension
the top
of
water molecules are
extra
and
create a skin - like
surface.
adhesive
water can also stick to
molecules! water climbs against gravity
to bring water to a plant due to its
to the stem.
water becomes
dense when it
freezes. this causes
ice to

water! this supports
the survival of aquatic
life during the winter.

waters
amazing and unique
properties

Explanation:

Water is a polar molecule with a slight positive charge on the hydrogen - side and a slight negative charge on the oxygen - side. It is a universal solvent as it can dissolve many substances. Water occurs naturally in all three states (gas - water vapor, liquid - pond water, solid - ice). It has high heat capacity, which means it takes a lot of energy to heat it. Water molecules are cohesive (stick to each other, causing surface tension), and adhesive (stick to other molecules). When water freezes, it becomes less dense, causing ice to float.

Answer:

Polar Molecule: positive; negative
Universal Solvent: dissolves
Naturally Occurs In all 3 States: states; gas; liquid; solid
Heat Capacity: energy; temperature
Cohesive: water molecules; surface tension
Surface Tension: layer; cohesive
Adhesive: other; roots
Density: less; float
