Topics Covered Include:
- Four properties of water that make life possible: Water is cohesive, water has the ability to stabilize temperatures, water expands when frozen, and water is a versatile solvent.
- Covalent bonding: Definition of covalent bond, polar covalent bonds, electronegativity of atoms, nonpolar covalent bonds, ionic bonds, the polarity of water molecules.
- Water and Hydrogen Bonding: Definition of hydrogen bond, the polarity of water and hydrogen bonding.
- Cohesion, adhesion, the movement of water through plants, transpiration pull, capillary action.
- Water stabilizes temperatures on Earth: The high specific heat of water, how water helps to stabilize temperatures on Earth, evaporative cooling.
- The density of ice. Floating ice allows for life under the frozen surface.
- Water as a solvent: Definition of solution, solvent ,and solute. Reasons why water is a good solvent, Definitions of hydrophilic and hydrophobic.
