Water ChemistryWater (H2O) is often perceived to be ordinary as it is transparent, odorless, tasteless and ubiquitous. It is the simplest compound of the two most common reactive elements, consisting of just two hydrogen atoms attached to a single oxygen atom. Indeed, very few molecules are smaller or lighter.

Special Characteristic of Water
Protects from rapid temperature loss, high so takes long to heat up, amount energy takes to raise 1g 1 degree c (4.2 joules)
|
Evaporative cooling, high, pulls heat from body, keeps you cool

Cohesion water bond to water, adhesion water bond to anything else hydrophilic, capillary action both work to move water up tree roots

Hydrogen bonds give you surface tension, gives eco systems, water striders
|
Ice less dense than water, insulates lakes, rigid hydrogen bonds
