Unit 1.1 - Water + Hydrogen bonding

Cohesion

partial positive of one water molecules into is attracted to the partial negative of another water molecule (also in hydrogen bonding)

Adhesion

water molecules are attracted to other polar molecules (not water molecules)

Density

more mass = higher density, calculated by mass/volume

Specific heat

water can abosrb a lot of heat without changing temperature, helps maintain internal temperature (homeostasis)

High Vaporization

takes a lot of energy for water to evaporate, allows for body temperature to be maintained

Polarity

water has polarity because of the partial positive of hydrogen and partial positive of the oxygen, helping to create hydrogen bonds and other bonds with other molecules
