Chemistry of water
Water is a POLAR molecule. This means it has covalent bonds that do not share electrons equally. The oxygen is slightly negative, the hydrogens are slightly positive.
Chemistry of Water
Water molecules form HYDROGEN BONDS with other water molecules. The positive Hs are attracted to negative Os This creates a weak bond, and a sticky molecule

Cohesion
Surface tension
Is a measure of how hard it is to break the surface of a liquid Is related to cohesion
Cohesion
Cohesion and Adhesion Helps pull water up through the microscopic vessels of plants (capillarity) Capillary action Adhesion = water sticks to other surfaces Transpiration = the movement of water through a plant leading to evaporation through the stomata

For example, if you mixed sand and sugar, you could still tell the individual grains apart.
2. Universal Solvent
Water is a good solvent due to its polarity Polar molecules surround positive and negative ions Water (solvent) dissolves salt (solute) creating an aqueous solutions

Hydrophobic
Hydrophobic means water-fearing Substances that are hydrophobic do not have an affinity for water and do not dissolve They are also non-polar Examples include oil, wax, and fat
Reflection
Water is essential for life. Its special properties make water the single most important molecule in plant life. What property of water enables it to move from the roots to the leaves of plants and why? Slap it on the wall!
