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

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