  1. 3. Stability- The resistance of a substance, such as water, to changes in temperature, contributing
  2. 5. compared to more viscous liquids like honey.
  3. 7. Tension- The tightness on the surface of water caused by the cohesive forces between water
  4. 10. Action-The ability of water to flow in narrow spaces against gravity, which occurs due to a
  5. 11. A homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances, where a solute is
  6. 12. The mass of a substance per unit volume. Water is unique because its solid form (ice) is
  7. 15. water.
  8. 16. in a solvent, such as saltwater.
  9. 18. of vaporization, which is important in cooling mechanisms like sweating.
  10. 20. attraction between molecules of different substances, such as water molecules
  11. 22. high specific heat allows it to stabilize environmental temperatures.
  12. 24. to a glass surface.
  13. 28. The ability of ice to act as a barrier that slows down the loss of heat from the water
  14. 29. Bond- A weak bond between two molecules, where a hydrogen atom in one molecule is
  15. 31. The attraction between molecules of the same substance, such as water molecules

  1. 1. Solvent - A substance that can dissolve a wide variety of solutes. Water is known as the universal
  2. 2. to an electronegative atom in another molecule, common in water molecules.
  3. 4. making the surface act like a stretched elastic sheet.
  4. 6. -The characteristic of a molecule having distinct positive and negative ends, leading to
  5. 8. it, helping to maintain a stable environment for aquatic life during winter.
  6. 9. measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. Water has low viscosity, meaning it flows
  7. 13. because it can dissolve more substances than any other liquid.
  8. 14. formation of hydrogen bonds in water.
  9. 17. dense than its liquid form, allowing ice to float.
  10. 19. A substance that is dissolved in a solvent. For example, salt is a solute when dissolved
  11. 21. of Vaporization- The amount of energy required to convert 1 gram of a liquid into a gas. Water has a high
  12. 23. together.
  13. 25. of cohesive and adhesive forces.
  14. 26. measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution. Pure water has a pH of 7, making it
  15. 27. the regulation of climate and body temperature in organisms.
  16. 30. Heat- The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by 1°C.
