Water and its Properties

1a) What atoms make up a water molecule?
Water is made of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. This is H2O.

1b) Describe the electric charge on each end of a water molecule?
The Hydrogen atom is+ and oxygen is -. They attract to each other because they are different charges.

1c) What causes water molecules to be attracted to one another?
An electric force pulls to each other and make the molecules attracted to one another. They are polar molecules.

2a) Name four unusual properties that water exhibits.
Those 4 are capillary action, surface tension, universal solvent, and specific heat.

2b) Briefly explain why water exhibits each property.
Each water exhibit is there to help explain or show what the water molecules and water can do.

2c)Oil is a nonpolar molecule. Would it dissolve in water? Why or why not?
No, because it was not polar molecule. Nonpolar don't dissolve well in water because they cant dissolve as well as polar molecules.

3a) What are the three states in which water exist on earth?
The three stages of which water is on earth is solid, liquid, and gas.

3b) Describe how water changes state as a patch of ice is heated by the sun?
It changes through boiling and evaporation, condensation also freezing and melting.
