What are water's bad qualities?
Water has several properties that make it a very unique substance. ... the water molecule tends to have a positive charge while the other has a negative charge.
What are the events that happen in a water molecule?
In a water molecule, two hydrogen atoms are covalently bonded to an oxygen atom. This results in a polar molecule with a slight positive charge on the hydrogen atoms and a slight negative charge on the oxygen atom. These polar properties make water a versatile solvent and allow it to form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules.
Why is a water molecule a polar molecule?
Different elements have different electro-negativities. Electro-negativity is the ability of an atom to withdraw 'electron density' towards itself, i.e. it makes electrons come closer to it.Fluorine is the most electronegative of the elements.Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen and so in water (H2O) the oxygen 'pulls' the electrons closer to itself and become slightly negative, and the hydrogen's slightly positive, this is called a permanent dipole.Due to this effect water has many properties that make it unusual and important to living things.
What is the chemical make up and type of bonding found in water molecules?
A water molecule has a chemical formula H2O, consisting of two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to one oxygen atom. The bonding in water molecules is polar covalent, where the shared electrons are more attracted to the oxygen atom, giving it a slightly negative charge and the hydrogen atoms a slightly positive charge.
How many molecules of oxygen is need to make water?
None. A water molecules contains one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Oxygen only contains oxygen.
What is the difference between an ion and an electrolyte?
An ion is an atom or molecule that has a positive or negative charge due to the gain or loss of electrons. An electrolyte is a substance that dissociates into ions when dissolved in a solvent, such as water, and is capable of conducting electricity. Essentially, ions are the charged particles that make up electrolytes.
Why glucose can't make ions?
Because glucose is an organic molecule. Wrong, any molecule or atom can be ionized. Organic or inorganic it does not matter. It just requires enough energy to ionize them. Perhaps you were really asking why it does not ionize in water. This is because all the bonds in glucose are covalent, which is too strong a bond for the dipole charge of the water molecule to separate. To ionize in water a molecule must contain at least one ionic bond, which is weak enough for the dipole charge of the water molecule to easily separate leaving ions. Also there are plenty of organic molecules containing ionic bonds (in addition to many covalent bonds), these readily ionize in water.
What are the properties of a molecule that make it both polar and hydrophilic?
A molecule is polar and hydrophilic if it has an uneven distribution of charge, with one end being more positive and the other more negative. This polarity allows the molecule to interact with water molecules, making it soluble in water. Additionally, the molecule may have functional groups like hydroxyl (-OH) or amino (-NH2) groups that can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, further increasing its hydrophilicity.
What parts make up a molecule of water what what parts make up?
A molecule of water is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, chemically bonded together. The hydrogen atoms are covalently bonded to the oxygen atom, forming a water molecule with the chemical formula H2O.
Why doesn't water dissolve oil?
In chemistry molecules are either polar or non-polar - polar means the molecule has a separation of its electric charge to form a permanent dipole. Water is a polar molecule - oil is not. As far as solubility and miscibility goes "Like disolves like" - so a polar compound ie Sodium Chloride will disolve in water, while a non polar compound such as glutamine will not disolve in water. However a non polar solvent ie ether will disolve glutamine but not sodium chloride.
What two elements make up molecule of water?
A molecule of water, which has the formula H2O, is made up of the elements hydrogen and oxygen.
