strong hydrogen bonds between the molecules of water.

hydrogen bond is an intermolecular bond between oxygen (which has high electron density) of a H2O molecule with hydrogen atoms (which has high positive charge density) that attracts oxygen atom with opposite charge of another H2O.

hydrogen bonds in water molecules are more numerous than other hydrogen bonds in HF ,for example, due to the higher number of lone electron pairs of oxygen that results in water having higher boiling point.

How do soil and water absorb and release heat?

Soil absorbs and releases heat through conduction. During the day, soil absorbs heat from sunlight, which warms the soil. At night, the soil releases this stored heat back into the surrounding environment. Water, on the other hand, has a high specific heat capacity, so it absorbs heat slowly and releases it slowly, helping to moderate temperature changes in aquatic environments.


How does land and water absorb and release heat?

Land absorbs and releases heat faster than water due to its lower specific heat capacity. Specific heat is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of a substance by 1 degree Celsius. Water's higher specific heat allows it to absorb and release heat more slowly than land, which leads to more stable temperatures near water bodies.


Does soil cannot retain heat?

Soil can retain heat, but not as effectively as water due to its lower heat capacity. Soil absorbs and releases heat more slowly compared to water, which can lead to temperature fluctuations in some conditions.


Which color absorbs heat more slowly yellow or white?

What material absorbs heat quickly but loses it slowly?

Cast iron cookware


How fast or slow does water absorb and release heat?

Water has a high specific heat capacity, which means it can absorb and release heat more slowly compared to many other substances. This property allows water to help regulate temperature in the environment and maintain stable conditions for living organisms. The rate at which water absorbs or releases heat depends on factors such as temperature, surface area, and movement.


What characteristics can be affected by proximity to water?

Climates that are in close proximity to water are affected in several ways. One was is that areas close to water are usually milder because the water absorbs heat from the sun and releases it very slowly.


What is energy storage?

"Water absorbs heat and retains the energy for a long period of time. This allows living things to warm up and cool down slowly." -my textbook :]

What does liquid water become when it absorbs enough heat?

Liquid water becomes water vapor, which is the gaseous state of water, when it absorbs enough heat and evaporates.


Does water changes temperature slowly?

Yes, water has a high specific heat capacity, which means it can absorb and release heat slowly. This makes water temperature changes relatively gradual compared to other substances.
