what are the 4 prperties of water
Answers
Answer:
the 4 properties of water are
1.)the water is a compound
2.) a water contains 2 elements
hydrogen and oxygen
3.)water exists in 3 states
liquid,solid and gas
4.) water in solid states is know as ice
5.)water in liquid state is know as steam or water
6.)water in gaseous state is know as water vapour
Four properties of water are :–
i) POLARITY :– A water molecule is slightly charged on both ends. This is because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen.
ii) COHESION :–Hydrogen bonds hold water molecules together, as seen in the picture above. Cohesion creates surface tension which is why if you fill a spoon with water, drop by drop, the water volume will actually be bigger than the spoon's surface before the water falls off.
iii) ADHESION :– Similar to cohesion, but adhesion is when the hydrogen bonds in water allow for the water molecules to be held to another subtance.
iv) HIGH SPECIFIC HEAT :– Specific heat is amount of heat absorbed or lost for 1g to change 1ºC, which in the case of water, is pretty high. This allows for evaporative cooling to occur, which is when heat energy is transferred to water molecules , and evaporating water removes a lot of heat energy from an organism (eg. when we sweat)
