In the bond in molecular oxygen, the electrons are pulled equally towards each element, as they are the same element and so have the same electronegativity.
In water, however, the bonds are between hydrogen and oxygen. The nucleus of oxygen has eight times the charge of the nucleus of hydrogen, and so attracts the electrons more strongly than hydrogen does. It does not attract eight times as strongly as hydrogen as the extra electron shell repels the electrons in the bond more than hydrogen's nonexistent shells (its only electron is in the bond). It can therefore be said that oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen.
As the oxygen attracts the electrons more strongly than the hydrogen, it gains a partially negative charge. Similarly, the hydrogen gains a partially positive charge.
This polarity is responsible for the interesting properties of water, including its ability to stay liquid at room temperature, its low density as a solid and its ability to climb up a narrow capillary tube without any force applied to it.
In the van Niel experiment, the oxygen molecules that originated from carbon dioxide are released as byproducts during the process of photosynthesis. These oxygen molecules are a result of splitting water molecules to produce molecular oxygen (O2) while converting carbon dioxide into carbohydrates.
When an ionic solid mixes with water, the particles of the solid dissociate into separate ions, which then become solvated by the water molecules. In contrast, when a molecular solid mixes with water, the solid molecules remain intact and may dissolve or form a solution depending on the intermolecular forces between the molecules and water.
When crystallized sugar is put into water, the H2O molecules separate the sugar molecules from each other. This happens because both H2O and sugar molecules are polar. The polarity causes the much smaller H2O molecules to squeeze between the sugar molecules and break the weak van der Waals forces that exists between them. The H2O molecule bonds to the sugar molecule with a stronger bond than the earlier van der Waals force (because of the polarity of the molecules).
Nonpolar molecules are of two types. Molecules whose atoms have equal or nearly equal electronegativities have zero or very small dipole moments. A second type of nonpolar molecule has polar bonds, but the molecular geometry is symmetrical allowing the bond dipoles to cancel each other.
When a solute dissolves in a solvent, the solute particles separate and spread evenly throughout the solvent, forming a homogenous mixture called a solution. The solute particles become surrounded by solvent molecules, breaking their intermolecular forces and allowing them to mix at the molecular level.
they dice apart
Two liquids that are opposite in polarity are immiscible, meaning they do not mix together and instead form distinct layers. This is due to the difference in their electrostatic interactions and the inability to form stable molecular interactions.
The inter-molecular bonds between the atoms/molecules are broken, releasing the atoms/molecules from a ridged structure to a freely moving mass.
As energy is added and temperature increases, molecules gain kinetic energy and move more rapidly. This increase in movement can lead to stronger molecular interactions, changes in molecular configuration, and ultimately a change in the state of matter (e.g., from solid to liquid or gas).
Whe you boil water, molecules of water "escape" into the atmosphere. The molecular structure of water is unaffected by boiling.
During diffusion molecules move from a region of higher concentration to one of lower concentration by random molecular motion.
nothing
As molecular size increases, flammability tends to decrease. This is because larger molecules have a lower surface area-to-volume ratio, which makes it harder for oxygen to reach the interior of the molecule, inhibiting combustion. Additionally, larger molecules often contain more non-flammable components than smaller molecules.

The solid separates down to the molecular level - and they mix with the water molecules. We cannot see molecules with the naked eye !
When evaporation occurs, the water molecules in the puddle transform into water vapor and rise into the air, causing the puddle to gradually decrease in size until it eventually dries up completely.
