Water + Organic Molecules Water, Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, and Nucleic Acids Water and Polarity Water and Polarity Hydrogen and oxygen atoms share electrons Covalent bonds Oxygen pulls more on the hydrogen’s electrons Uneven Pulling = Uneven Charges = Polarity Water molecules are attracted to each other due to polarity Hydrogen bonds are broken and formed very easily Properties of Water Properties of Water Water Dissolves Charged particles are pulled into solution. Cohesion Water sticks together Adhesion Water sticks to other substances – capillary action High Surface Tension
