Water Properties

Water molecules "stick" to other water molecules.

• specific heat

• volume

• adhesion

• cohesion

Water molecules "stick" to other polar molecules..

• adhesion

• cohesion

• surface tension

• polar molecule

Liquid water moving along a solid substance caused by adhesion.

• volume

• capillary action

• polar molecule

• density

Tightness across the surface of the water caused by cohesion.

• polar molecule

• density

• surface tension

• capillary action

When a molecule does not have positively and negatively charged ends.

• adhesion

• density

• polar molecule

• non-polar molecule

When a molecule has positively and negatively charged opposite ends.
