Q

Ionic bond

A

Formed by the attraction of oppositely charged ions. Strong but not as strong as Covalent bonds, and not directional. A.k.a. they are not formed by particular ions in a compound

Q

Covalent

A

Formed when two atoms share electrons. Strong-strength increases with the number of shares electrons. Very directional – they are formed between two specific atoms, definite shape

Q

Hydrogen bonds

A

Formed by the attraction of opposite partial electric charges between two polar molecules. These bonds do not hold a molecule together. Week – not as effective over long distances, but collectively become strong. Highly directional – polar molecules must be very closed for the week attraction to be effective

Q

Polarity

A

In each water molecule the oxygen atom attracts more than its fair share of electrons. The oxygen and acts negative, the hydrogen acts positive

Q

Cohesion

A

Water molecules are attracted to other water molecules, this allows water to create hydrogen bonds. Create surface tension – then surface film on the liquid

Q

High specific heat

A

The amount of heat needed to raise or lower 1 g of a substance 1°C. Water is this temperature change, both for heating and cooling. This helps organisms maintain homeostasis
