The Polarity of a Water Molecule

Two or more atoms joined together in a magnetic bond make a molecule. Today, we discussed the magnetic forces that bond two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom to make water. We discussed the arrangment of the hydrogen on the oxygen and related the water molecule drawing as a person wearing floaties in the swimming pool.

We read in the book from page 100-102 and defined solvent, solution, hard water and soft water.

Kids, did you test your home water to see if it is hard? You know, wash your hands and observe the soap suds that result. Oh yeah, tell your parents how soap works.

Have a great night.
