		Chemistry Tutorial ^Votes:0 Chemistry Tutorial The Chemistry of Water The polarity of water Water has a simple molecular structure. It is composed of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Each hydrogen atom is covalently bonded to the oxygen via a shared pair of electrons. Oxygen also has two unshared pairs of electrons. Thus there are 4 pairs of electrons surrounding the oxygen atom, two pairs involved in covalent bonds with hydrogen, and two unshared pairs on the opposite side of the oxygen atom. Oxygen is an "electronegative" or electron "loving" atom compared with hydrogen. Water is a "polar" molecule, meaning that there is an uneven distribution of electron density. Water has a partial negative charge ( ) near the oxygen atom due the unshared pairs of electrons, and partial positive charges ( ) near the hydrog Read More Go to Site

		H2O - The Mystery, Art, and Science of Water: The Chemistry of Water: Properties ^Votes:0 A Sweet Briar College Learning Resource H 2 O - The Mystery, Art, and Science of Water The Chemistry of Water Professor Jill Granger Properties IMAGE SOURCE: "Chemistry in Context" Wm C Brown Publishers, Dubuque Iowa, 2nd edition, A project of the American Chemical Society, ed: A. Truman Schwartz et al., 1997, Chapter 5 "The Wonder of Water" Water is Weird !? Chemically speaking, water is very weird. It doesn't behave at all like it should.Let's consider somethings you know: Ice Floats. That's not weird.... is it? That's very weird. The solid state of most things are much denser than the liquid state and therefore sink. Usually what happens when a solid is formed is that the molecules become more tightly packed together. When things melt, the molecules move apart and get liquid. But water Read More Go to Site

Water is more than just plain old water -- it actually has some very unusual properties. It would be boring if I just told you that water is wet and clear. So, instead, here are some "maybe true/maybe false" water properties. See if you know the real water facts. True False (1) Water contracts (gets smaller) when it freezes. True False (2) W Read More Go to Site

Table of Contents Links Water Structure and Science Liquid water (H 2 O) is often perceived to be ordinary as it is transparent, odorless, tasteless and ubiquitous. It is the simplest compound of the two most common reactive elements, consisting of just two hydrogen atoms attached to a single oxygen atom. Indeed, very few molecules are smaller or lighter. However, liquid water is the most extraordinary substance. Although we drink it, wash, fish and swim in it, and cook with it (although probably no Read More Go to Site
