**How would you describe water? **  Let's use your 5 senses! Pure water is tasteless, odorless, and colorless. **Remember, Water contains an Oxygen with 8 electrons and two Hydrogens with 1 electron each ** Water occurs in three states: **solid** (ice), **liquid**, or **gas** (vapor) media type="youtube" key="s-KvoVzukHo" height="344" width="425"

**Solid water** is frozen water seen as ice When water freezes, its molecules move farther apart, making ice less dense than water Ice is lighter than that same volume of water, and so ice will float in water Water freezes at 0° Celsius, 32° Fahrenheit **Liquid water** is wet and fluid This is the form of water with which we are most familiar. Liquid water has no definite shape but it does have a definite volume **Water Vapor** is gas that is always present in the air around us You cannot see it  but when water boils, the water changes from a liquid to a gas or water vapor and as some of the water vapor cools (reacting to the colder air), we see it as a small cloud called steam This cloud of steam is a mini-version of the clouds we see in the sky At sea level, steam is formed at 100° Celsius, 212° Fahrenheit *Water has a high **__specific heat__**, which is the amount of energy required to change the temperature of a substance  Because of its high specific heat, it can absorb large amounts of heat energy  Water can hold its heat; It releases heat energy slowly, as it takes a long time for water to cool  Water's high specific heat allows for moderation of the Earth's climate and helps regulate their body temperature *Water in its pure state has a neutral pH  Rain is naturally acidic about a 5.6 because it bonds with carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide

*Water is known as the universal solvent *Water is **__adhesive__** and **__cohesive__**  -**__adhesive__** means sticking to other objects  while  -**__cohesive__** means the same is sticking together =============================================================================
