Functions
Water is used to transport substances- cohesive, liquid and a good solvent
Good temperature controller- has a high specific latent heat and a high specific heat capacity
Water used as a habitiat for organisms
Fish live in it
Polar bears live on top of it as when it freezes its lighter than liquid water
Used in many important metabolic reactions- photosynthesis and hydrolysis reactions
Structure of water
Hydrogen and oxygen joined by sharing electrons
negative electrons from hydrogen pulled closer to oxygen
oxygen therefore has slight negative charge
polar molecule=slight positive charge on one side slight negative charge on the other side
hydrogen left with slight positive charge
properties of water
High specific heat capacity
high specific latent heat
cohesive
low density when solid
good solvent
