    STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF


    WATER

    STRUCTURE OF WATER
    HYDROGEN
    Water is an inorganic molecule that is the
    most important compound in the body, in fact a normal
    adult’s body weight is made up of 50% or more of
    water. it is also a polar molecule

    Covalent bonds are chemical bonds that are formed by


    the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons by the outer
    energy levels or shells of two atoms.

    Polar molecule is a molecule in which one end of the


    molecule is slightly positive, while the other end is
    slightly negative.
    OXYGEN
    COVALENT BONDS
    Very effective solvent – Able to dissolve or break
    Apart many substances ELECTRONS

    PROPERTIES OF WATER
    HIGH SPECIFIC HEAT – Resist Temperature changes,
    1.) Much energy needed to break water bonds
    2.) Helps to maintain a constant body temperature

    COHESION & ADHESION – Cohesion is a Polar water molecules that are attracted to other
    polar water molecule and are forces responsible for surface tension. While adhesion Polar water
    sticks to other molecules/substances other than itself.

    POLAR - with partial positive charges on the hydrogens, a partial negative charge on the
    oxygen, and a bent overall structure. This is because oxygen is more electronegative, meaning
    that it is better than hydrogen at attracting electrons.

    SURFACE TENSION - Water has a strong top layer, which allows things to float on top of it.
