PROPERTIES OF
WATER
WATER MOLECULE
- composed of two (2)
hydrogen atoms and (1)
oxygen atom;
 PROPERTIES OF
WATER
1) WATER IS POLAR

- with partial
positive charges
on the Hydrogens
and partial
negative charges
on the oxygen
- Forms hydrogen
bonds
PROPERTIES OF
WATER

2) COHESION

- Tendency of water to
form weak bonds and
stick to each other;

- Attraction between
molecules of the same
substance
SURFACE TENSION

- The tightness across the surface

of water that is caused by polar
molecules pulling on each other
PROPERTIES OF
WATER

3) ADHESION

- Tendency of water
to stick to other
substances
PROPERTIES OF WATER 4) CAPILLARY ACTION

- The movement of water

within the spaces of a porous
material due to the forces of
adhesion, cohesion and
surface tension.
PROPERTIES OF WATER

5) UNIVERSAL SOLVENT

- Water dissolves more

substances than any
other known substance
PROPERTIES OF WATER

6) SPECIFIC HEAT

- The amount of heat

needed to increase the
temperature of 1kg of
substance by 1°C.

- Water requires a lot of heat

to increase its temperature
 PROPERTIES OF WATER

Unit of specific heat:

Joule per kilogram per

degree Celsius
J/kg · °C

ARSENIC CADMIUM

CHROMIUM COPPER
LEAD

MERCURY SELENIUM
WATER TEMPERATURE
- Degree or intensity of
thermal energy in water
 TURBIDITY
- measure of how much
suspended material is in the water
and indicates water quality
LIGHT
 STREAM FLOW
(Discharge)
- the amount of water that flows past
a specific point in a stream over a
specific period of time

Components of streamflow:
1) Velocity
2) Volume
