Chemistry of Life Properties of Water More about Water Chemistry of water H2O molecules form H-bonds with each other + attracted to – creates a sticky molecule Elixir of Life Special properties of water cohesion adhesion surface tension, capillary action good solvent many molecules dissolve in H2O hydrophilic vs. hydrophobic lower density as a solid ice floats! high specific heat water stores heat high heat of vaporization heats cools slowly Cohesion Adhesion H bonding between H2O molecules is cohesion water is “sticky” surface tension drinking straw H bonding between H2O other substa
