VocabularyWater Property and State Absorbency:the ability to take in a material Adhesion:the tendency of water to stick to other substances Buoyancy:the ability to float Capillary Action: The process that moves water through a narrow porous space
Cohesion:The attractive force between water moleculesDensity: the measure of mass of a substance per unit volumeInsoluble: not soluble (not able to dissolve)Polarity: uneven distribution of charges across a molecule
Soluble:having the ability to be dissolved in another substanceSpecific Heat:the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree CelsiusSurface Tension:The force that acts on the particles at the surface of a material.
Synthetic:prepared or created artificially; man-made not found in nature.Universal Solvent: The quality of water that makes it able to dissolve more substances that any other solvent can.
