Water: A Polar MoleculeIn this video Paul Andersen explains how the polarity of water makes life on the planet possible. Oxygen is highly electronegative an...
To understand why water is a polar molecule, we need to understand a few key concepts about polarity. First, it we look at the Lewis structure for water. thi...
Properties of water which support life on our planet: hydrogen bonds, cohesion & adhesion, thermal and solvent properties.
21 paź 2020 · Water is a polar molecule because of its bent geometry and the electronegativity difference between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms. The geometry, in turn, is due to oxygen’s two lone pairs. Water (H 2 O) is a polar molecule and a polar solvent.
Water (H 2 O) is polar because of the bent shape of the molecule. The shape means most of the negative charge from the oxygen on one side of the molecule and the positive charge of the hydrogen atoms is on the other side of the molecule. This is an example of polar covalent chemical bonding.
Define anion and cation. Contrast covalent, ionic and hydrogen bonds. Write the molecular formula for water and draw the atomic structure of the molecule. Describe the cause and effect of the polar nature of water. Describe where and how water is able to form hydrogen bonds.
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the polarity of water makes life on the planet possible. Oxygen is highly electronegative and pulls the electrons closely creating a partial negative charge. The polarity of water (and the corresponding hydrogen bonds) create cohesion, adhesion, capillary action, high specific heat, and a universally ...
