    An ELEMENT is a substances that cannot be broken down into smaller matterby chemical means. There are 92 naturally occurring elements which have

    been assigned an atomic symbol in the periodic table of elements. Elementswhich have similar chemical reactions are arranged into the same columns.

    Properties of WaterProperties of Water

    Water is the most abundant molecule in living organisms

    Electrons circle larger (O) atom more than smaller (H) atom due to

    stronger ability to attract Water is a POLAR molecule: electrical charge is dispensed unevenwhereas (O) has slight charge and (H) has slight + charge.

    At room temperature, water is a liquid because of hydrogen bonding

    Waters temperature rises and falls gradually; it holds heat well.

    Water has a high heat of vaporization

    Water becomes less dense at frozen temperatures

    Water molecules are cohesive, and, therefore, liquids fill vessels

    Water is a solvent which aids chemical reactions
