| Water | Water is a dipole. Is a polar molecule. One end of the molecule +ve and one end -ve. |
| Water as a solvent | Due to this polarity, other polar molecules dissolve in water. More molecules dissolve in water compared to any other liquid, thus it is Universal Solvent. |
| Hydrogen Bonds | Becuase water is dipole (-ve and +ve ends), the positive end of one water molecule is attracted towards the -ve end of another molecule causing them to stick together. this property is called cohesion. |
| Water as a metabolite | Water is used and amde in many chemical reactions within the cells of organisms. .Hydrolysis reactions and photosynthesis use water .Condensation reactions and respiration produce water |
| Water as a solid | When water freezes it becomes less dense. it has the same mass but it takes up a bigger volume because the water molecules form a crystalline structure. This is why ice floats on water. |
