transformation….
The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. So if we can’t create energy, where does it come from? It is transformed from one state to another.
Water is the only substance on Earth that transforms into four physical states – solid/ice, liquid/water, gas/steam, and gel. For example, it is a solvent to dilute and transport chemicals and nutrients and is exhaled as water vapor from our lungs.
Because of the positive and negative bonds of hydrogen and oxygen, water molecules bind easily to anything. They act like a hyperactive child always looking for something to do or bind to in order to create something new!
