Now, on to water aka dihydrogen monoxide aka H2O. Water is made up of one oxygen atom, and two hydrogen atoms. And looks something like this.

This structure makes water a very polar molecule. Without going into the beautiful details, Oxygen has a net negative charge while the opposite ends with the hydrogens have a net positive charge. This allows water molecules to form hydrogen bonds and gives water many of its other properties.

Cohesion and Adhesion are two such properties.

Cohesion is water’s attraction to itself. The hydrogen bonds that I mentioned facilitate this. This is also why water has surface tension, allowing bugs to walk on it. Additionally, cohesion keeps water a liquid at moderate temperatures instead of a gas.

Adhesion is water’s attraction to other surfaces. Water will adhere to anything it can form a hydrogen bonds with. This is the reason for capillary action, where water climbs up a narrow glass tube.

Another property of water is it’s high heat capacity.

Heat capacity is a substance ability to absorb heat. More accurately, it’s the amount of energy needed to raise one gram of a substance by one degree celsius. This allows water to absorb temperature changes and keep air temperature at moderate levels. Which is pretty cool…

Finally, water is known as the universal solvent, meaning that a wide range of substances can be dissolved in it. This includes hydrophilic and polar molecules like sugars and salts. Substances that generally don’t dissolve in water are hydrophobic, like oils.

So now you know a little more about the properties of H2O, and bare in mind, we only covered a portion of water’s amazing properties, so be sure to check the links in the description to learn more.

And, as always throw any questions in the comment section!

Now, I want to give a shoutout to one of my subscribers, TheCrazyChosenOne. The channel is linked below.

It’s a gaming channel with a lot of Fortnite recently, and who doesn’t love some Fortnite gameplay, am I right? Easy listening, enjoyable watching. The channel is not limited though, it features a wide variety of game from Minecraft to Call of Duty.

So check it out, and if you like the content, give it some love with likes, comments, and a sub.
If you want your channel featured in my next vid, let me know.

I’ll catch you next time.
