Water is a polar molecule.
Four properties of water:
cohesion
Cohesion=attraction of molecules to other molecules of the same kind.
Adhesion= attraction of one kind of molecule to a different kind of molecule
Capillary action = Upward motion of liquid.
The experimental technique chromatography can be used here.
ability to moderate temperature
Calorie=unit of heat required to raise temperature of one gram of water by 1 degree celsius.
Specific heat= amount of heat that must be absorbed or lost for one gram of substance to change temp by 1 degree celsius.
Water has a high specific heat. One calorie per gram times degrees celsius.
expansion upon freezing
versatility as a solvent
