Review
Ionic bonds occur when e- are shared in a+/- arrangement
Covalent bonds exist when one atom shares1 or more e- with another atom.
One covalent bond means 2 e- are involved.Always involves a pair of e-

Characteristics of water:
1. liquid at room temperature2. universal solvent for polar molecules
3. water molecules are cohesive
4. water molecules are adhesive5. temperature of water changes slowly
6. absorbs heat upon vaporization
7. releases heat upon freezing
8. frozen water is less dense
8/13/2019 Clase 2 Chemistry of Cell .ppt

B. The Importance of Water
1. Properties
Cohesion- the attraction of water moleculesfor each other.
Adhesion- the attraction of water moleculesfor other compounds.
High heat capacitytakes a great deal ofheat to raise the temperature of water.
8/13/2019 Clase 2 Chemistry of Cell .ppt
27/73
High heat of vaporization- a lot of heat isrequired to evaporate water.
Exists as solid, liquid or gas - solid (ice) is lessdense than liquid.
2. Solutions
A solution is a mixture of one or more solutesdissolvedin a solvent.
If solvent is water, then it is an aqueous solution.
Water is a strong solvent because it separates charged
atoms or molecules.
