4 Water's Polarity Water molecules are formed by covalent bonds that link two hydrogen (H) atoms to one oxygen (O) atom. Water molecules have a slightly positive end near the H atoms and a slightly negative end near the O atom. Molecules that have an uneven distribution of charge are called polar molecules, meaning they have oppositely charged regions. Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Water and Solutions

5 Water's Polarity When a charged region of a polar molecule comes close to the oppositely charged region of another polar molecule, a weak attraction forms. A hydrogen bond is a weak interaction involving a hydrogen atom and a fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen atom. A hydrogen bond is a strong type of van der Waals force.

7 Mixtures with Water A mixture is a combination of two or more substances in which each substance retains its individual characteristics and properties. Mixtures are either homogeneous or heterogeneous. Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Water and Solutions

8 Mixtures with Water Homogeneous mixtures
When a mixture has a uniform composition throughout, it is called homogenous. A solution is another name for a homogeneous mixture. In a solution, there are two components: A solvent is a substance in which another substance is dissolved. A solute is the substance that is dissolved in the solvent.

9 Mixtures with Water Heterogeneous mixtures
When the components in a mixture remain distinct, it is a heterogeneous mixture. A suspension is a type of heterogeneous mixture where the particles settle out over time A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture in which the particles do not settle out.

10 Mixtures with Water Acids and bases
Many solutes readily dissolve in water because of water's polarity. Substances that release H+ when they are dissolved in water are called acids. Substances that release hydroxide ions (OH−) when they are dissolved in water are called bases. Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Water and Solutions

11 Mixtures with Water pH and buffers
The amount of hydrogen or hydroxide ions in a solution determines the strength of an acid or base. The measure of concentration of H+ in a solution is called pH. Acids have pH values < 7; bases have pH values > 7 Buffers are mixtures that can react with acids or bases to keep the pH within a particular range.
