how hydrogen bonding occurs between water molecules‚ and relate this and other properties of water‚ to the roles of water in living organisms. Water is a very small molecule‚ consisting of two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to an oxygen atom. However the electrons shared are not done so equally‚ oxygen is more electronegative and has a firmer hold on the electrons and pulls them slightly towards its nucleus. Due to this‚ the charge across the molecule of water is not equally distributed‚ and the

Q1 Q1 A) The sudden closure of valve at the end of a pipeline cause sudden change in the water velocity which in turn creates a phenomenon called water hammer. The water in motion is forced to stop or change direction suddenly (momentum change) and a pressure wave propagates in the pipe. It ’s also called hydraulic shock. The effect of this event can be effectively multiplied many times by the geometry of a piping system if the pressure wave is allowed to reflect‚ or bounce‚ back and forth
