Water Molecule Shape

For an introductory college-level earth sciences class: Review of the basic molecular bonding and shape of the water molecule including a review of what makes a water molecule polar.
**This video comes near the middle of the semester, so there may be terms with which the audience is unfamiliar. For a full playlist, refer to the Geology or Oceanography playlist on the Earth Rocks! TH-cam Channel.
Content within this video is based on information available in any standard introductory college oceanography textbook, such as Essentials of Oceanography -- Trujillo and Thurman -- Pearson Publishing.

There is the IONIC, COVALENT, and James Bond. The last one doest share any electrong. It wants them all!

Great video

1- @5:11 What will happen if the water gets heated at the same exact moment the hydrogyn's electron is orbiting the oxygen's electron's field (The hydrogyn's electron that is shared with both atoms orbits both, the oxygen and the hydrogyn). Will the extra electron stay with the oxygen while they lose thier bond?
2- @5:19 Why will only two electrons orbit the hydrogyn atom? While there are six orbiting the oxygyn that is touching the hydrogyn?
3- @4:35 Why do you say that a hydrogy with one electron is an ion/still not stable/needs to get one extra electron? Eventhough it has only one proton?
4- @8:32 What kind of charge?
5-@9:33 Is the water also solvant when it is in gas form? Meaning, does the hydrogyn want to bond with the oxygen that is in the air?

1: When you heat water, you aren't breaking the covalent bonds of the water molecule (where electrons are shared). So the oxygen and hydrogen don't dissociate. You are just pulling one water molecule away from another. You are breaking the hydrogen bonds between water molecules. The electrons stay with each water molecule they started with because they never ventured out to the other molecule very far (weak hydrogen bonds).
2: Hydrogen has 1 proton, so to be a neutral atom, it will have 1 electron. Oxygen has 6 protons. To be a neutral atom, it has 6 electrons. This is what makes Hydrogen, hydrogen and Oxygen, oxygen: the number of protons in their nuclei.
