Chemical Properties of Water
Water is a polar molecule
The atomic structure of a water molecule consists of two hydrogen (H) atoms joined to one
oxygen (O) atom. The unique way in which the hydrogen atoms are attached to the oxygen
atom causes one side of the molecule to have a negative charge and the area in the opposite
direction to have a positive charge. The resulting polarity of charge causes molecules of water
to be attracted to each other forming strong molecular bonds.
Water has a shape
