(32)

Property	Description/Definition	Example in the Real World
Adhesion	The attraction between molecules of different substances	Water sticking to the sides of a glass tube
Capillary Action	The ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, or even in opposition to, external forces like gravity	Water moving up a plant's xylem
Surface Tension	The elastic - like property of a liquid's surface that allows it to resist an external force	Water striders walking on water
High Specific Heat Capacity	The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a given mass of a substance by 1 degree Celsius is relatively high for water	Oceans moderating the Earth's climate
Hydrogen Bonding	A relatively weak electrostatic force between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a highly electronegative atom (such as N, O, or F) and another electronegative atom	The structure of ice being less dense than liquid water
Polarity	A separation of electric charge leading to a molecule having a positive end and a negative end	Water dissolving many ionic and polar substances
