Water. A Unique Chemical

Description

Water is a unique chemical. Without it, life as we know it cannot exist. It exists in all three phases naturally on Earth. At first glance, the chemistry of water appears a very simple, but it has some remarkable and unique properties, because of its molecular structure and composition. This production examines some of water's important chemical properties, including its polarity and the strength of bonds between water molecules, dispersion forces, heat capacity and its ability to self-ionize. Sections are titled: water, an overview; the three states of being; the nearly universal solvent; and water and chemical reactions.
