Water Physical & Chemical Properties
Let's dive into the amazing world of water – the H₂O wonder that keeps our world going! Water isn't just something you drink or swim in; it's like a superhero with incredible powers. Let us break it down for you:
1. What Water Looks Like: Imagine water as tiny superheroes – H₂O molecules! These molecules are made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, and they love to stick together. When it gets cold, these molecules huddle up and form ice (solid water). When it's just right, they flow around like a liquid (that's the water you know!), and when it gets super hot, they zoom around as steam (water vapor).
2. How Water Behaves: Ever wonder why ice floats? That's because ice is like a magic trick – it's less heavy than liquid water, so it dances on the surface. And have you noticed how raindrops stick to windows? Water has this cool power called surface tension, making it act like a team, especially on the surface!
3. The Magic Chemical Stuff: Water has its own secret code – H₂O. That's how scientists write down the magic recipe for water. It's not just a regular liquid; it's a superhero solvent. It can dissolve almost anything! Throw in some salt, and watch it disappear like magic. Also, water is chill – right in the middle of the pH scale at 7. It's neither too sour nor too bitter. Sometimes, water gets excited and breaks into tiny charged bits called ions. It's like water showing off its electric dance moves!
4. Water's Special Talents: Water molecules are like best buddies – they stick together (cohesion) and hug other things (adhesion). That's why water droplets form on surfaces. Water is also a heat superhero. It can take in lots of heat and still keep its cool. That's why it's perfect for cooling things down. Ever seen a plant drink water from the ground? That's water doing its capillary action trick, moving up against gravity like a superhero climbing up a skyscraper!
5. Where Water Works Its Magic: Water isn't just in your water bottle. It's everywhere! It's a backstage hero in biology, keeping plants and animals alive. And guess what? It's the superhero behind weather, oceans, and all the amazing environments where plants, animals, and even you thrive.
So, there you have it – water, the unsung hero with a bunch of superpowers that make life on Earth not just possible, but awesome! Stay curious and keep exploring the wonders around you!

Ale ngin ia peit lang ia ka jing itynnat jong ka pyrthei um. Ka um ka don la kajong ka bor.
1. Ka um ka long kaba kumno? Ka um ka don ia kita kiba ngi khot ki H₂O molecules. Kine ki molecules lah shna ia ki da 2 tylli ki Hydrogen atom bad 1 u Oxygen atom. Haba ka khriat kine ki molecule ki khriat, ki ia jan iwei ia iwei bad kylla long thah. Haba ka syaid pat, ka kylla um, bad haba ka khuit bha tar, ka um ka kylla haw haw.
2. Kumno ka um ka long? Hato phi lah ju kylli kumno u thah u per? Kane ka dei na ka daw ba u thah u kham duna ka jingkhia ban ia ka um, namar kata u shong halor ka um. Hato phi lah ju iohi ba ki symboh um ki snoh ha ki iit? Ka um ka don ia ka jinglong tynrai kaba ngi khot “surface tension” kaba pynlong ia ki symboh um ban lang kum ki shi kynhun, kham tam lei lei halor ka sla um!
3. Ka mar ‘chemical’ ba long jadu- Ka um ka don la u jong u dak- H2O. Ka dei da une u dak ba ki riewstad saian ki ai na bynta ka um. Ka um ka lah ban pynum ia jan baroh ki mar. Kawang phi khyndiat ka mluh ha ka bad phin ioh i ba ka mluh ka shu jah noh hapoh ka um, kumba don ba leh jadu. Ha kajuh ka por ruh ka um ka don ka jingthew pH kaba 7. Kam da jew bad kam da kthang. Teng teng ka shait jia ba ka um ka shongshit bad hangta ka um ka phiah noh sha ki bynta kiba rit barit kiba ngi khot ia ki ki ‘ions’. Long kumba ka um ka pyni ia ngi ia kita ki rukom shad electrik!
4. Ki sap kyrpang ba don ka um: Ki molecules kiba don hapoh ka um ki kloi bha ban long paralok- namar ki ia don ryngkat para ma ki(cohesion) bad ki ia kloi ban kdup ruh ia kiwei pat kiba pher na ki(adhesion). Dei na kane ka daw ba ki symboh um ki kloi bha ban don ha ki sla (surface) sawdong jong ngi. Ka um ka lah ruh ban shim ia ka jingkhluid khlem da duh noh ia ka jingpjah jong ka. Dei na kane ka daw hi ruh ba ngi lah ban pyndonkam ia ka haba ngi kwah ban pynpjah ia kano kano kaba khluid. Haba ngi peit ia ki jingthung, hato lah ju iohi kumno uto u jingthung u kjit ia ka um? Kane ka dei lyngba ka jinglong tynrai jong ka um ban pyni ia kata ka ‘capillary action’ kaba iaid pyrshah ia ka bor ‘gravity’ lane ka jingtan jong ka pyrthei shapoh, kaba pynkiew ia ka um shalor kum u riewshlur uba nud ban kiew ia ka ing kaba jrong bha!
5. Hangno hangno ba ka um ka trei kam ka long thik kumba don jadu: Ka um kam don tang ha ki klong dih ki jong ngi hynrei ka don baroh kylleng sawdong jong ngi! Ka um ka dei kata ka riewshlur kaba trei khlem don kiba iohi- kaba ai jingim ia ki jingthung bad ia ki mrad. Ka dei ruh kata kaba pynlong bad pynman ia ki aiom, ki duriaw bah bad kumjuh ruh ia baroh hapoh ka mariang kaba kynthup ruh ia ngi.
Namar kata ka um kam dei tang ka nongai jingim, hynrei ka pynlong ruh ia ka pyrthei kaba bit kaba biang. Long kiba khmih bniah bad kiba wad jylliew ia ki jing maian ka pyrthei kylleng!
