    using physical and chemical properties. Physical properties are characteristics of a substance. Two types of physical properties are quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative is a property that has an amount or can be measured such as hardness‚ solubility‚ and viscosity. Qualitative is a physical description of matter such as color‚ clarity‚ and state. Chemical properties are characteristics of a substance which allows it to behave in a specific manner. A few types of chemical properties are combustibility

    WATER OUR LIFELINE Water is a transparent fluid which forms the world’s streams‚ lakes‚ oceans and rain‚ and is the major constituent of the fluids of living things. As a chemical compound‚ a water molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms that are connected by covalent bonds. Water covers 71% of the Earth’s surface.[1] It is vital for all known forms of life. On Earth‚ 96.5% of the planet’s water is found in seas and oceans‚ 1.7% in groundwater‚ 1.7% in glaciers and the ice caps of Antarctica

    One property of water that makes life possible on earth is its solid state‚ (frozen).Water is less dense as a solid than it is as a liquid‚ which enables ice to float. When its temperature falls below 4 degrees Celsius‚ the molecules slow down to a point where they are not moving fast enough in order to break the hydrogen bonds‚ therefore making the bonds more stable. The bonds then are farther apart‚ making the solid less dense. Water is one of the few molecules that has this property‚ allowing

    Water has importance inside cells and externally. This may be because it has interesting chemical and physical properties; it can be found naturally in all three of its states. However its molecules are bonded together by hydrogen bonds‚ this raises its melting and boiling points‚ i.e. its boiling point would be -120¢ªC rather than 100¢ªC. Also because it contains slightly negatively charged oxygen atoms and slightly positively charged hydrogen atoms making it polar. <br> <br>Water has been called

    Water is a chemical compound with the chemical formula H 2O. A water molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms that are connected by covalent bonds. Water is a liquid at standard ambient temperature and pressure‚ but it often co-exists on Earth with its solid state‚ ice‚ and gaseous state‚ steam (water vapor). Water covers 71% of the Earth’s surface.[1] It is vital for all known forms of life. On Earth‚ 96.5% of the planet’s water is found in seas and oceans‚ 1.7% in groundwater‚ 1

    Physical properties can be seen‚ touched‚ or even measured without the identity of the substance changing. The identity of the substance can be its shape or color. Three physical forms of a substance are solid‚ liquid‚ and gas. Water for example can transform into all three physical forms without its identity changing. The characteristic of water as a shape can be used as an example of a physical property. Water can be frozen into ice‚ vaporized‚ or liquidized. The shape of water as a solid is
