Water: A Polar Molecule

Water: A Polar Molecule
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 good solvent.

Good luck to anyone else who's taking it this year too!

Probably one of the better explained videos I've watched in a while.
Explained it, gave visuals and got to the point. There need's to be more teachers like you!
Plus, Mr. Anderson, you know your information, thank you!

[@averyschaefer4182]

Imagine if he was your teacher. I'm sure I would understand science for once because he explains it so well.

[@qtino8777]

Mind blown.
I've always wanted to know about ice floating! I've heard about CGP Grey being fascinated by how trees bring up water! I wondered if hydrogen becomes charged because its electrons are pulled on more, but this explains everything!

Thank you! THis really simplified the structure and basis of water in all componments! 9 years later and my professor continues to mention this video to all classes.

legit just taught me everything I learned in the past month in 8 minutes and 36 seconds

Yes!! This is the explanation I needed! Lol no one was telling my WHY Oxygen was more electronegative

ps watched it on the World Water Day

[@fierycarnisphere1166]

Mr. Andersen says that the increase in electronegativity to the right is due to an increase in protons and thus an increase in positive charge. I don't get it. Don't these atoms not have a charge? They're not ions.
