Why do water molecules stick together?

What is a polar molecule?

To understand water, we must first understand the water molecule.

Ever wondered why water molecules have their unique V-shape? 🤔 It’s all about electron repulsion! Lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen atom push the hydrogen atoms into this distinctive structure.

Here’s the science:

Covalent Bonds: Oxygen shares electrons with each hydrogen atom, forming restless covalent bonds that are constantly in motion. 🔄

Polarity: Oxygen pulls the shared electrons closer, giving itself a slight negative charge and the hydrogens a slight positive charge—making H2O a polar molecule. ⚡

This polarity makes water molecules attract one another, creating hydrogen bonds, the magical forces behind water’s incredible properties! 🌊 Dive into the fascinating world of molecular chemistry and discover how H2O holds our universe together!
