What makes water so fundamentally important for life? Water’s special properties as a liquid begin with the two polar covalent bonds in each water molecule. Overall, the molecule has no charge, but the oxygen pulls the shared electrons a bit more than the hydrogen atoms do. 7A). The separation of charge means that the water molecule itself is polar. 7B). Extensive hydrogen bonding between water molecules imparts unique properties to liquid water, and those properties make life possible. First, water is an excellent solvent.

The cloud forest itself cloaks more than 2 million acres of the Foja Mountains. Surveying all of it would take unrealistic amounts of time and effort. Besides, tromping about even in a small area can damage delicate forest ecosystems. Given such limitations, researchers often look at subsets of an area, a population, event, or some other aspect of nature.
2). Atoms differ in the number of subatomic particles. The number of protons in an atom’s nucleus is called the atomic number, and it determines the type of atom, or element. Elements are pure substances, each consisting only of atoms that have the same number of protons in their nucleus. For example, the atomic number of carbon is 6, so all atoms with six protons in their nucleus are carbon atoms, no matter how many electrons or neutrons they have. A chunk of carbon consists only of carbon atoms, and all of those atoms have six protons.
