Water
  1. Hydrogen bonding in water
    1. H2O molecules polar and linked by hydrogen bonds
      1. covalent bond 2H, O
        1. H partial positive; O partial negative
          1. bent; poles are 2H and O
            1. positive and negative ions attract and form ionic bonds
              1. water - partial charge; less attraction, hydrogen bond
                1. intermolecular force rather than bond
                  1. slightly positive pole weakly attracted to slightly negative pole
                  2. Properties of water
                    1. Cohesive properties
                      1. binding of two molecules of the same type
                        1. due to hydrogen bonding
                          1. useful for water transport in plants
                            1. xylem sucks up water at low pressure
                            2. Adhesive properties
                              1. hydrogen bonds between water and other polar molecules
                                1. useful in leaves
                                  1. water adheres to cellulose in cell wall
                                    1. water absorbed from nearest xylem in case of evaporation from leaf via air network spaces to keep walls moist for CO2 absorption
                                    2. Thermal properties
                                      1. High specific heat capacity
                                        1. H bonds restrict motion so high heat required to break them
                                          1. relatively large amount of energy needed
                                            1. thermally stable habitat

                                              1. lots of energy needed for evaporation to break H bonds
                                                1. Good evaporative coolant
