polarity. Polarity is the uneven distribution of charge on a molecule. One side will have a positive charge and the other side will have a negative charge because they do not share the electrons equally.]]> 2018-09-25 19:23:13 UTC https://padlet.com/vmartinez9/9s60b3ck0avx/wish/285752272 vmartinez9 https://padlet.com/vmartinez9/9s60b3ck0avx/wish/285752973 Polar molecules, such as water
molecules, have a weak, partial
negative charge at one region
of the molecule (the oxygen
atom in water) and a partial
positive charge elsewhere (the
hydrogen atoms in water).]]> 2018-09-25 19:24:21 UTC https://padlet.com/vmartinez9/9s60b3ck0avx/wish/285752973 hlimavasquez https://padlet.com/vmartinez9/9s60b3ck0avx/wish/285753070 Water has the ability to
support small objects. The
hydrogen bonds between neighboring molecules cause a “film” to develop at the surface.]]> 2018-09-25 19:24:32 UTC https://padlet.com/vmartinez9/9s60b3ck0avx/wish/285753070 hlimavasquez https://padlet.com/vmartinez9/9s60b3ck0avx/wish/285753332 Water molecules stick to
other surfaces. This causes water to move upward against gravity in plant stems and to be absorbed by paper towels. It also causes water to adhere to spider webs.]]> 2018-09-25 19:25:04 UTC https://padlet.com/vmartinez9/9s60b3ck0avx/wish/285753332 maldhahri https://padlet.com/vmartinez9/9s60b3ck0avx/wish/285753339 Water molecules stick to each other. This is caused by hydrogen bonds that form between the slightly positive and negative ends of neighboring molecules. This is the reason why water is found in drops; perfect spheres. It’s hard to imagine water
behaving any other way.]]> 2018-09-25 19:25:04 UTC https://padlet.com/vmartinez9/9s60b3ck0avx/wish/285753339 cpersowski https://padlet.com/vmartinez9/9s60b3ck0avx/wish/285753490 Water is able to dissolve a
wide variety of substances so it is considered to be the
universal solvent.]]> 2018-09-25 19:25:24 UTC https://padlet.com/vmartinez9/9s60b3ck0avx/wish/285753490 hlimavasquez https://padlet.com/vmartinez9/9s60b3ck0avx/wish/285753711 Water has the ability to
“climb” structures. Think
about what happens when you stick the tip of a straw in a glass of water or dip a paper towel in a puddle. Because water molecules stick together (cohesion) and to other substances (adhesion), they are able to travel against the pull of gravity.]]> 2018-09-25 19:25:53 UTC https://padlet.com/vmartinez9/9s60b3ck0avx/wish/285753711 maldhahri https://padlet.com/vmartinez9/9s60b3ck0avx/wish/285754283 Water has a high boiling point.
Water is one of the few
substances that remain a liquid
at such a large range of
temperatures (O-100 °C). A
large amount of energy must
be invested to overcome the
hydrogen bonds in liquid water
to change it to the gas phase.]]> 2018-09-25 19:27:01 UTC https://padlet.com/vmartinez9/9s60b3ck0avx/wish/285754283 vmartinez9 https://padlet.com/vmartinez9/9s60b3ck0avx/wish/285755952 2018-09-25 19:30:54 UTC https://padlet.com/vmartinez9/9s60b3ck0avx/wish/285755952 hlimavasquez https://padlet.com/vmartinez9/9s60b3ck0avx/wish/285756537 Surface tension allows for life to exist on the surface of water, in any other liquid life would parish.
