1.  Properties of Water An interesting molecule!

2. Water….in chemical language  Water is written as H 2 O  That means that it is made of 2 hydrogen molecules and 1 oxygen molecule

3. Structure of Water  Water is made up of one oxygen atom and 2 hydrogen atoms  They are linked by a covalent bond

4. Did the Jello mix better in the oil or the water?? The WATER!!!

5. The worlds greatest solvent!  Water mixes really well with most things!  This is because water can stick to things!

6.  The oxygen has 8 protons and the hydrogen only have 1 proton each  Since the shared electron has a negative charge…do you think that electron likes to spend more time by the hydrogen atoms or the oxygen? Brain Workout…

7. A Polar Molecule  Molecules with an uneven distribution of charge are called polar molecules

8. Polarity  A “pole” just means one side of…so to be polar means that one pole is positive and one pole is negative.

9. CFU What 2 elements is water made of? 2 hydrogen molecules and 1 oxygen molecule

10. CFU What does it mean to be a polar molecule? That there is an un-even distribution of charge

11. CFU Which is more negative?? A. Oxygen B. Hydrogen C. Neither, they have the same charge

12. Let’s Build Water Molecules!  Please use your cut-outs to build a water molecule  We can hang these up in our classroom to help remind us what a polar molecule is!

13. Mix it Up!  We don’t usually find water in its pure form, generally something is mixed into it!

14. Mix it up some more…  There are 2 types of water mixtures  Solutions  Suspensions

15. Solutions  All the components of the mixture are evenly distributed in the water  Example: salt in hot water Solution

16. Solutions  Solute = what you mix in  Solvent = what you mix it into Solute Solvent

17. Solutions  Example – salt into water Solvent Solute Salt! Water

18. Question  If I am making chocolate milk which is the solute and which is the solvent?

19. Suspensions  When you mix something into water and it does not mix all the way in.

20. CFU  What is a solution? A mixture where everything is evenly distributed in the water

21. CFU  Derrick is making some black cherry kool-aid. Is the kool-aid mix the solute or the solvent?  A. Solute  B. Solvent

22. CFU  Is oil and water an example of a solution or a suspension?  A. Solution  B. suspension

23. Cohesion  Because the water has both negative (-) and positive (+) charges on it, water molecules attract each other!  This is called COHESION

24. Cohesion  Look at your paper water molecules  How would your water molecule stick with your neighbors?

25. Cohesion is Cool!  Cohesion allows for something called surface tension  This is why bugs can walk on water and you can fill a water glass to the brim!

26.  When water molecules are attracted to things other than water, it is called adhesion. Adhesion

27. Make a connection! Cohesion is when water is attracted to itself and adhesion is when it is attracted to something other than water!

28. CFU In this picture…where do you see adhesion?

29. CFU In this picture…where do you see cohesion?

30. Why does ice float?

31. Water Density  Water is less dense in its frozen form…..but what does that mean?  It means that the water molecules are more spread out in ice than they are in liquid water.  Let’s take a closer look at density

32. Density  Density is a measure of how close molecules are to each other  Liquid water has a HIGH density  Solid water has a LOW density

33. Frozen vs. liquid Liquid WaterIce High Density, the molecules are close together Low Density, the molecules are far apart

34.  Acids, Bases and the pH scale
