Liquid of Your life- Water

Can You Imagine Life without Water?

Water is a chemical. Because pure water is homogeneous throughout its structure, it is a pure chemical. It is denoted by H2O. It is composed of identical molecules (H2O), each of which has the same atoms combined and arranged in the same way (with the same proportion of hydrogen to oxygen).

Amazingly, water is a substance. All kinds of organisms benefit from its presence in terms of life and growth, whereas those that lack it suffers from the opposite. It is the only substance that naturally occurs on the planet in all three states—solid, liquid, and gas—and makes up 80% of its surface. Its composition is remarkably straightforward for a substance of such importance. It is the liquid of life.

Chemical Structure of Water

Two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom make up the structure of water. Electrostatic attraction is what draws them to one another. The oxygen atom is negatively charged, whereas the hydrogen atom is positively charged. In water, opposites do indeed attract. This charge attraction causes water to be attracted to other water. the same way that atoms are put together. One water molecule's hydrogen will form a bond with another molecule's oxygen atom.

Water is available in three states as:-

1. Liquid

The easiest way to see the water is when it is liquid. After all, it covers the majority of the planet. Water can only change states when a few specific conditions are met, and water can only stay in its current state as long as those conditions are met. For instance, for water to remain a liquid, the temperature must be between 32 and 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Precipitation is the main way that liquid water reaches the Earth's surface. Water vapor will condense into liquid water in this process. This results in the formation of clouds, which then brings about precipitation and the return of water to us.

2. Solid (Ice)

Ice is simply water that has frozen over. Water expands as it freezes, encasing air molecules as it does so. In actuality, it is the only known non-metallic substance that will expand in this way. Ice will float in a glass of water for this reason. It can become ice without necessarily being in a liquid state. Water vapor has the ability to condense into ice crystals, such as frost. From snow and hail to icebergs and icicles, ice can be found in the environment in many different forms.

3. Gas (H2O Vapor)

When water is in its gaseous state, it is a vapor. There are several ways for this to happen, but it mostly does so at temperatures higher than 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Water boils above this point and transforms into steam, a vapor that can be seen. Below this temperature, water can also exist, as when you can see your breath on a chilly day. Evaporation, or the absorption of liquid water into the atmosphere, is a further process by which water can turn into vapor. A wet surface is allowed to dry would be an illustration of this. That water simply evaporated into the air around it rather than dissipating.

Properties of waters 

On Earth, in addition to the three states, water has a variety of special qualities. Water doesn't shrink as it gets colder like the majority of liquids do. At about 39 degrees Fahrenheit, water stops shrinking, and as the temperature drops further, the process reverses and it begins to expand. Cohesion is a different property that describes how water is drawn to other water. It has a high specific heat capacity.
