Water: A Polar Molecule

Water: A Polar Molecule

In this video Paul Andersen explains how the polarity of water makes life on the planet possible. Oxygen is highly electronegative and pulls the electrons closely creating a partial negative charge. The polarity of water (and the corresponding hydrogen bonds) create cohesion, adhesion, capillary action, high specific heat, and a universally good solvent.

OMG, THIS GUY IS ACTUALLY THE BEST TEACHER ON THE INTERNET. Almost everything I am learning in highschool is explained on this channel. Thank you so much Anderson!!

[kayaterlaak]

who else is being forced by a teacher to watch this?

[tanyathep]

Taking the AP Bio exam in 2020.
Good luck to anyone else who's taking it this year too!

Probably one of the better explained videos I've watched in a while.
Explained it, gave visuals and got to the point. There need's to be more teachers like you!
Plus, Mr. Anderson, you know your information, thank you!

[averyschaefer]

Imagine if he was your teacher. I'm sure I would understand science for once because he explains it so well.

[Brcnosaur]

you're in bozeman so thats why its bozeman science...


5 years later... haha

[paulaeaton]

I love your lessons! You're a fantastic teacher. Thanks for sharing.

Properties of Water stated in this video: Cohesion, Capillary Action, Ice Floats, and High Specific Heat. Good Luck with your Homework!

[MiguelA]

Thank you. Please don't stop teaching because of all the haters... You're amazing!

[kaikai-fdwg]

bro your videos also help IB students, your teaching is amazing pls don't stop

[madi]

I go to Whitefish High and I love my teacher but sometimes I just don't understand; these videos are an AMAZING way to review what we are learning!

Wow, was that good! He is the best at simple elegant explanations of what can be complex issues. Thanks a lot from a 76 year-old who loves learning new things.

[jensonsamraj]

Very fascinating teaching, it didn't leave me to pause or stop this video.

[sophiebouchar]

legit just taught me everything I learned in the past month in 8 minutes and 36 seconds

[soundaryabachchan]

this is one of the best explanation of polar molecules iv come across.
really well explained with the properties,

[joanyoon]

Mr. Bozeman, Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You make teaching a lot easier.

[DaishaView]

Yes!! This is the explanation I needed! Lol no one was telling my WHY Oxygen was more electronegative

[Krisin]

Thanks so much. Finally, I found a YouTube channel to clear my confusion about chemistry.
