Properties of Water
Water is a special substance. It’s unique chemistry make it important to shaping earth’s natural environments.
-
Place holder for Fig3.1 In this topic we look at the special chemistry of the water molecule.
-
Electrons are shared differently in ionic and covalent bonds. Covalent bonds can be non-polar or polar and react to electrostatic charges.
Activities:Special Features: -
Water has an amazing ability to adhere (stick) to itself and to other substances.
Activities: -
We have explored adhesion and cohesion in water. Now, we look at those same properties in other liquids.
-
Testing the electrical conductivity of liquids allows one to know the concentration of ions in the liquid.
