Q

The chemical formula of water

A

H2O
- Do not share electrons equally
- O2 has a higher attraction for electrons
- O2: partial negative charge
- H atoms: partial positive charge

Q

Polar and Non-polar

A

Tendency of electrons moving/attracted to one atom than the other,
opposite is non-polar.
Polar + Polar = dissolves
Polar + Non-Polar = no dissolves
