4907982967	example of a polar molecule	water	21
4907984855	unique properties of water	- uses hydrogen bonds, high specific heat, cohesion, adhesion, capillary action	22
4907985693	cohesion	water sticks to itself	23
4907986337	example of cohesion	water sticking to itself to bubble up on the surface of a penny	24
4907987474	adhesion	water sticking to other substances	25
4907987848	example of adhesion	water sticking to a car window	26
4907988313	capillary action	water rises on its own using cohesion and adhesion to rise in small tubes	27
4907989384	example of capillary action	water getting to the tops of trees	28
4907991322	high specific heat	water changes temperature slowly, it resists changes in temperature	29

4907993034	example of hydrogen bonds	water bonding with other water molecules	31
4907994514	ionic bonds	give or take electrons from one element to another, between a metal and a non metal	32
4907995180	covalent bonds	the strongest of bonds, share electrons	33
4907996440	put three types of bonds in order from weakest to strongest	hydrogen, ionic, covalent	34
