How does the polarity of water assist the movement of molecules?
The movement of molecules are very important on earth, and they happen in and on every living organism. (totally wrong above this) Think of water molecules as magnets; each with an opposing pole. Like magnets, water molecules repel each other when two parts of the same pole are pushed together. The polarity of the water does the same thing, pushing the molecules apart.
How are water molecules like magnets?
water molecules are polar (there is an unequal charge around the molecule) The oxygen end of the water molecule is negatively charged and the hydrogen ends of the water molecule is positively charged. thus, the oxygen will attract positive atoms and the hydrogens will attact negative atoms
What molecules best dissolve in water?
Those ones that are most like water. Like dissolves like.
Why soap absorb water?
Soaps are complex combinations of molecules. On the surface of the soap there are many holes and spaces between the molecules that the water can enter. There the water molecules come in and probably penetrate many layers deep into the soap, and stay there. Thus the soap expands and becomes bigger. This happens most in pure water and then less in liquids which not like water. The reason for the difference is that inside the soap there are both "hydrophilic" (water liking) and "hydrophobic" (water hating) portions of the molecules. But importantly, the hydrophilic portions are on the outside of the molecules so water can get close to the molecules. So the more like water the liquid is, the more the water can get close to the molecules and stay with them (be absorbed into the soap). When the water has other particles dissolved in it, like iced tea, Sprite or salt water, the water molecules can't get as close to the hydrophilic portions. And of course the oil molecules are repelled by the hydrophilic portions of the soap. So the answer of why soap absorbs the water is that the water molecules penetrate the soap and stay with the hydrophilic portions of the soap molecules. This happens more when the liquid is more like water.

How do two water molecules compare to two magnets?
They connect positive to negative just like magnets do.

What is it called when molecules act like magnets with negative and positive ends?
Ionic.
Will water without salt evaporate faster than water without salt?
Yes, because when salt is put into water, they can also act like magnets. Attaching to opposite particles. The salt molecules also push down the water molecules so the water molecules have to get enough power to evaporate. Which makes plain water evaporate faster.

Why does food colouring go through oil?
Food coloring spreads in water but not oil because the molecules that make up the coloring are soluble (able to be dissolved) in water. Water molecules are polar, which means they have an unequal distribution of charge on them. They are like little magnets, with a positive side and a negative side. Other particles with charge will be attracted to these little magnets, resulting in the material dissolving in water. The food coloring dissolves in water because its particles spread out amidst the water molecules due to this attraction. Oil is a non-polar substance, which means that its particles have no charge. Other non-polar materials will dissolve in oil, but a polar substance will not. Hence the separation of oil and water when they are mixed together. Oil is also thicker then water
What happens to the density of a cooled liquid?
It will tend to increase, but this is not the case for all liquids.The reason this happens is because as the liquid's molecules gain energy they exert force on their neighbouring molecules, which leads to the molecules becoming spread apart as the temperature increases. Conversely, when the molecules get colder and lose energy they exert less force on neighbouring molecules and so they get closer and the density increases.However, in water this trend is true for all temperatures above 4oC, but not below 4oC. When water goes below 4oC the density starts to decrease. This is due the the oxygen being very electronegative, giving the water molecules a slight charge bias (the cause of effects like water tension) which makes them like little bar magnets. As the temperature drops the molecules become less able to overcome this slight charge bias, which pulls the water molecules into a shape like that of ice (which we know has a lower density than liquid water.

Why is water extremly cohesive?
Water is polar, meaning the Hydrogen and Oxygen molecules in the water have an uneven distribution of electrons. This causes an attraction between the water molecules poles, like magnets, which draws them together. The water Hydrogen Bond also affects cohesiveness because each oxygen molecule in water has 2 lone pairs of electrons which can each form a Hydrogen bond with the hydrogen from another water molecule
Where can someone purchase wedding magnets?
Wedding magnets are available through fabric and craft stores like JoAnn Fabrics or Michael's Craft Store. Such magnets are popular little items for married couples.
What causes water molecules to stick together in liquid water?
hydrogen bonds
How do water molecules move in water?
The answer is that water molecules move by a stream of moving cytoplasm, some what like how the currents move to the ocean.
