Water has many anomalous physical and chemical properties that result from its molecular structure (Table 1). The polar nature of the molecule helps to explain its high dielectric constant and its ...

The dot and cross diagram shows that a water molecule is made up of one oxygen atom joined to two hydrogen atoms, so the formula of water is H 2 O. A nitrogen molecule is made up of two nitrogen ...

A substance that contains polar covalent bonds may not be overall polar. This is due to the shape of the molecule. Water molecules are polar molecules. Both of the bonds inside the molecule are ...
