The Biological Structure of Water Water is a substance with the chemical formula H2O: one molecule of water has two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to a single oxygen atom. Its structure enables it to carry out many important functions in the body. Water molecules are charged‚ with the oxygen atom being slightly negative and the hydrogen atoms being slightly positive. These opposite charges attract each other‚ forming hydrogen bonds. These are weak‚ long distance bonds that are very common and

Salt and the effect it has on water. Do you like salt? Do you put it on your food to make it taste better? Salt doesn’t just make food taste better; it can change the freezing and boiling point of water. I bet you didn’t know that! There’s a reason for that‚ but I’ll explain that a little later. First‚ let’s find out if salt can actually change the freezing and boiling point of water. To do so‚ we need to do an experiment. Now‚ if you’re going to do an experiment‚ you’re going to need a hypothesis

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‚ and is vital for all known forms of life.[2] On Earth‚ 96.5% of the planet’s water is found in seas and oceans‚ 1.7% in groundwater‚

WATER LOGGING AND SALINITY Naheed Ghazanfar Izhar & Associates Consulting 5.1 CLASSIFICATION OF WATER LOGGED AND SALINE AREAS BY DEGREE The existing irrigation system in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was developed in late 1800s over a century ago. This system was designed for the farming at that time which was much lower than the cropping intensities of today. This system had limited provision for drainage‚ resulting in a rise in groundwater and the occurrence of salinity. |Table
