Question

What are some consequences of water polarity?

Answer 1

hydrogen bonding will occur as a result to the polarity of water

Answer 2

@cchazcycle are you look for hydrogen bonding or examples like cohesion and adhesion

Answer 3

yes, anything you can give me

Answer 4

@Bunny12

Answer 5

oh ok

Answer 6

Do you want them listed or explained? @cchazcycle

Answer 7

exmplained or both

Answer 8

things due to polarity: hydrogen bonding, cohesion, adhesion, high specific heat capacity, lower density of ice, waters ability to dissolve other substances

Answer 9

Do you know what polarity means (in terms of water molecule) @cchazcycle

Answer 10

polarity means that there is a prevalence of positive and negative charges that cause intermolecular forces? right?

Answer 11

ya

Answer 12

So is it fair to say that intermolecular forces are the only type of interaction that occurs in polar bonding??

Answer 13

Sorry, I have no clue for that.

Answer 14

lol its ok, just go on about what you were going to originally explain..

Answer 15

Wait actually no because intermolecular means bonding btw dif substances right

Answer 16

ok, then clarify plz.. I studied no chem over the summer and forgot alot of it!..

Answer 17

If it is that case, then that occurs in adhesion. Adhesion is where bonding between molecules of different substances are stronger than the bonds in cohesion, bonding between water molecules. For ex, meniscus is due to adhesion btw the water molecules and glass are stronger than bonding btw water molecules.

Answer 18

I have no idea about it being an intermolecular force though

Answer 19

The rest is due to hydrogen bonding which results because of polarity

Answer 20

polarity is where the molecule of water has different charges. The oxygen is slightly negatively charged and hydrogen is slightly positively charged. This cause attraction btw water molecules

Answer 21

which is hydrogen bonding. High specific heat capacity is where the molecules are bonded together, so they need a lot of energy to get them to move faster. More energy means temperature of water rises. That is why oceans take in a lot of energy for the water temperature to rise only a bit.

Answer 22

Ice is less dense than water because the orientation of hydrogen bonds causes molecules to push farther apart, which lowers the density. So ice is less dense than water

Answer 23

Water molecules have a polar arrangement of the oxygen and hydrogen atoms—one side (hydrogen) has a positive electrical charge and the other side (oxygen) had a negative charge. This allows the water molecule to become attracted to many other different types of molecules. Water can become so heavily attracted to a different molecule, like salt (NaCl), that it can disrupt the attractive forces that hold the sodium and chloride in the salt molecule together and, thus, dissolve it.

Hope that helps :)
