It is composed of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Each hydrogen atom is covalently bonded to the oxygen via a shared pair of electrons. Oxygen also has two unshared pairs of electrons. Thus there are 4 pairs of electrons surrounding the oxygen atom, two pairs involved in covalent bonds with hydrogen, and two unshared pairs on the opposite side of the oxygen atom. Oxygen is an "electronegative" or electron "loving" atom compared with hydrogen.]]> 2017-11-07 17:05:59 UTC https://padlet.com/susan_monahan/i3bqry2d5gb0/wish/204464252 https://padlet.com/susan_monahan/i3bqry2d5gb0/wish/204465917 2017-11-07 17:08:56 UTC https://padlet.com/susan_monahan/i3bqry2d5gb0/wish/204465917 https://padlet.com/susan_monahan/i3bqry2d5gb0/wish/204466447 water molecules "stick" to other things due to its polarity. there is a curve in a glass of water because the glass is more polar than the other molecules of water]]> 2017-11-07 17:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/susan_monahan/i3bqry2d5gb0/wish/204466447 https://padlet.com/susan_monahan/i3bqry2d5gb0/wish/204468253 2017-11-07 17:12:24 UTC https://padlet.com/susan_monahan/i3bqry2d5gb0/wish/204468253 https://padlet.com/susan_monahan/i3bqry2d5gb0/wish/204469532 2017-11-07 17:14:26 UTC https://padlet.com/susan_monahan/i3bqry2d5gb0/wish/204469532 https://padlet.com/susan_monahan/i3bqry2d5gb0/wish/204470450 When introduced to a very thin tube, the adhesion of water to the walls of the tube is stronger than the cohesion of water to itself, causing the water to travel up the tube, against gravity. This process is how plants with roots get their nutrients from the soil, as the nutrients dissolve in water which is then drawn up into the plant.

This means the system is absorbing energy. Water's heat of vaporization is about 41 kJ/mol.

The heat of vaporization is the specific heat absorbed when the liquid has gone through the process of vaporizing. The temperature stays constant throughout the process, as stated above. ^

This means large bodies of water will not become as cold near the bottom, protecting marine life through the winter. -krista]]> 2017-11-08 00:41:40 UTC https://padlet.com/susan_monahan/i3bqry2d5gb0/wish/204636393 https://padlet.com/susan_monahan/i3bqry2d5gb0/wish/204638318 2017-11-08 00:53:24 UTC https://padlet.com/susan_monahan/i3bqry2d5gb0/wish/204638318 https://padlet.com/susan_monahan/i3bqry2d5gb0/wish/204645588 water has a very high level of polarity due to it being a non-polar molecule]]> 2017-11-08 01:40:20 UTC https://padlet.com/susan_monahan/i3bqry2d5gb0/wish/204645588 https://padlet.com/susan_monahan/i3bqry2d5gb0/wish/204646645 2017-11-08 01:46:46 UTC https://padlet.com/susan_monahan/i3bqry2d5gb0/wish/204646645 https://padlet.com/susan_monahan/i3bqry2d5gb0/wish/204647563 2017-11-08 01:51:09 UTC https://padlet.com/susan_monahan/i3bqry2d5gb0/wish/204647563 https://padlet.com/susan_monahan/i3bqry2d5gb0/wish/204648692 Cohesion- molecules being able to stick to like molecules.
