Properties of Water
Capillary Action
Ability of liquids to flow through narrow spaces without external forces
Happens through Adhesion & Cohesion
Adhesion: Attraction of a molecule to another belonging to a different type
Allows water to defy gravity and move through surfaces with other types of molecules
Water molecules & Other molecules
Cohesion: Attraction of a molecule to another belonging to the same type
Allows water to mount each other and move upwards
Water molecules & Water molecules
Specific Heat Capacity
Amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a given amount of the substance by 1C
Significance on life
Stabilizes temperature of aquatic habitats
Universal Solvent
Capable of dissolving many substances
Polarity of water molecules surround other molecules, tearing them apart and dissolving them
Dissolves most materials possibly harmful for our body
Necessities for our bodies
Fluids transport salts, minerals, and nutritions vital for our body
