- Water
- Polarity
- Electrons are shared unevenly.
- This means The Oxygen atom becomes slightly negatively charged and the Hydrogen atom slightly positively charged
- Electrons are shared unevenly.
- Formation of Hydrogen Bonds
- This happens due to the polarity of the water molecules
- Polarity
- Electrons are shared unevenly.
- This means The Oxygen atom becomes slightly negatively charged and the Hydrogen atom slightly positively charged
- Electrons are shared unevenly.
- Polarity
- This is because they form...
- This happens due to the polarity of the water molecules
- Thermal Properties
- Water has a relatively high boiling point due to the hydrogen bonds formed between the molecules
- This leads to more energy being needed to evaporate the water which is how sweating helps to reduce the body temperature
- Water has a relatively high boiling point due to the hydrogen bonds formed between the molecules
- High Surface Tension
- The water molecules want to cling to each other-Cohesion
- At the surface, there are fewer molecules so the bonds formed are stronger
- The water molecules want to cling to each other-Cohesion
- Solvent Properties
- Any other polar molecule, e.g. Glucose or Enzymes, dissolve in water
- This is because they form...
- Any other polar molecule, e.g. Glucose or Enzymes, dissolve in water
- As a Metabolite
- Water is involved in many reactions, either as a product or a reactant
- Polarity
