Chemical bonds and properties of water

Cards (14)

  • Water is a polar molecule that forms hydrogen bonds with other water molecules.
  • Water chemistry includes cohesion, adhesion, hydrogen bonding, and water's ability to dissolve hydrophilic molecules.
  • Water repels hydrophobic molecules, causing nonpolar molecules to clump together.
  • Solid water is less dense than liquid water due to hydrogen bonds.
  • Cations are positively charged ions, and anions are negatively charged ions.
  • Molecule is a group of atoms bonded together in a stable association
  • Ionic bonds are the attraction of atoms with opposite charges (NaCl)
  • Covalent bonds are where atoms are shared.
  • Polar bonds are where high electronegative atoms bind with low electronegative atoms
  • Non-polar are 2 low electronegative atoms bonded together.
  • Hydrogen bonds are weak and form between polar molecules.
  • Cohesion is where water attaches to itself, it allows little critters to walk on water.
  • Hydrophilic is water loving, polar, and charged.
  • Hydrophobic is water hating, non polar, and non-charged.
