The Chemistry of Water

Water is a ubiquitous substance with some highly unusual chemical properties. Water molecules are polar in nature, which makes them interact with each other and other substances in fascinating ways. But why can salt dissolve in water when oil can’t? This episode of chemistry basics explores the chemical structure of water molecules and gives you a chemical crash course in polarity and the molecular property that makes water so special – hydrogen bonds.
