Chapter 2 cont. (water & its properties) Flashcards
(53 cards)
Atoms share the electrons unequally
Polar Covalent Bond
Atoms share electrons equally
Nonpolar Covalent Bonds
Electrons are ___ between O and H, which is a ____ bond
Shared, covalent
Why is water polar covalent?
Oxygen is more electronegative, obtaining a partial negative charge.
Hydrogen is less electronegative, obtain a partial positive charge
Electropositive hydrogen from one polar molecule is attracted to an electronegative atom
Hydrogen bonds
Amount of heat that must be absorbed or lost for 1 gram of that substance to be changed by 1 degree Celsius
specific heat
Does water have a high or a low specific heat?
high// this permits life
Heat is (absorbed/released) when hydrogen bonds break?
absorbed
Heat is (absorbed/released) when hydrogen bonds form?
released
The state of water in a continuous formation of hydrogen bonds forming, breaking, and forming again
Water as a liquid
Water state when:
Temperature drops, causing a decrease in H-bond breakage
(less heat is absorbed, more heat is released)
Solid (ice)
Water state when:
H-bonds are continuously being formed, broken, and formed again
Liquid (water)
Water state when:
An increase in temperature causes an increase in bond breakage
(More heat is being absorbed)
Gas (water vapor)
State change from Ice to water:
Input of energy/ increased H-bond breakage
Change state from water vapor to water
Release of energy/ less hydrogen bond breakage, more hydrogen bonds form
What temperature does water freeze at?
0 degrees Celsius
Ice has a (lower/higher) density than liquid water
lower
Water molecules are attracted to other water molecules and stick to each other via hydrogen bonding
Cohesion
The measure of attraction between molecules at the surface of a liquid
Surface tension
Water molecules are attracted to other polar molecules and stick to these molecules via hydrogen bonding
Adhesion
Substance that is dissolved in a liquid
Solute
The liquid that the substance dissolves in
Solvent
When a solute is dissolved in a solvent
Solution
Which type of molecules dissolve easily in water?
Ions (anion and cation) and polar molecules
