Have you ever dropped oil on your hands and tried to wash it off? What happens? Does the water slide off? Or what about when a drop of oil falls in a glass of water? Why does it float to the surface‚ and not mix? The answer to this is simple: polarity. What exactly is polarity? A polar bond is when there is a difference in electronegativity‚ which means the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. When two atoms are bonded together and one attracts more electrons‚ this results

Water • Define the terms solute‚ solvent and solution • Solute: Substances dissolved by the solvent (or the component present in a lower amount) • Solvent: Substances in which solutes are dissolved (or the component present in a larger amount) • Solution: A homogenous mixture of 2 or more substances • 1.1.2. Identify the importance of water as a solvent. • Water is distributed in the biosphere‚ lithosphere‚ hydrosphere and atmosphere • On earth‚ it is distributed as a solid‚ liquid and gas

Importance of Water for Living Organisms Water is made up of two elements‚ 2 positively charged hydrogen molecules and one negatively charged oxygen molecule. Water molecules have uneven charge distribution as one end of the molecule is slightly positive and the other slightly negative‚ this is called polar. Ionic substances such as sodium chloride dissolve easily in water because the positively and negatively charged ions are separated due to the dipole nature of water. As water is dipolar‚

Water is also known as H2O. I am made of two Hydrogens and one Oxygen. I love to travel and can be found in every home in the United States. I can change into many different shapes and can go almost anywhere if I am given the chance. My story starts in a well in my back yard at my home. I come from an underground aquifer. I can travel through the pipes into my kitchen faucet. I have many uses. I can be hot‚ warm or even cold. I can be mixed with dish soap in the kitchen sink or ran through

The Physical properties of water: 1. Knowledge of the physical properties of water: Water is the most abundant compound on Earth ’s surface‚ covering about 70 percent of the planet. In nature‚ water exists in liquid‚ solid‚ and gaseous states. It is a dynamic equilibrium between solid and gas states at standard temperature and pressure. At room temperature it is tasteless and odourless‚ nearly colourless with a hint of blue. Many substances dissolve in water and is commonly called a universal

carries oxygen to the cells of the body. In the cells‚ oxygen combines with chemicals obtained from food. Energy produced during this process makes it possible for each cell to perform its function in the body. Also‚ oxygen atoms are present in water and water is essential to all life. It is present in many organic compounds. While oxygen is necessary for life‚ oxygen as ozone is highly toxic. On the other hand‚ ozone is an important component of the atmosphere and helps to shield us from harmful ultraviolet

Water is vital for not only us‚ but for the world’s environment. Our bodies use water in all our cells‚ organs‚ and tissues to help regulate temperature and maintain bodily functions. Commonly referred to as the universal solvent‚ water can be used as either a base and an acid. Explain the structure and behaviour of water Similar to many other substances and liquids‚ water takes on numerous forms. It can either be solid as ice‚ gas as steam‚ and its usual liquid phase‚ water. Water molecules

03.04 Valence Electrons and Bonding Individual neutral atoms are rarely found in nature. The noble gases are the only elements that are found as single atoms more often than they are found in compounds. Atoms are held together in compounds by electrostatic attraction between positive nuclei and negative electrons. This attraction holds atoms together in a chemical bond‚ a link between two atoms resulting from the mutual attraction of their nuclei for valence electrons. All chemical bonds involve

BIOCHEMICAL IMPORTANCE OF WATER Of all the simple chemicals that are found in abundance on Earth‚ only water is liquid under normal pressure and temperature. When life first appeared on planet Earth‚ water has played an important role in creating the first organic compounds. The organic compounds later‚ formed the first prokaryotic organisms. Life began‚ as the modern theories support‚ in water and developed for three billion years in it before spreading on land. It is no coincidence that the
