Polarity of Water

The partial charges and dipole for the water molecule are shown in Figure 4.5; note that the charges are significantly larger than in carbon monoxide. These partial charges result in water molecules being strongly attracted to one another in the solid and liquid phases. In other words, for a group of water molecules, the positively […]

The MSP project is funded by an ESEA, Title II Part B Mathematics and Science Partnership Grant through the Montana Office of Public Instruction. MSP was developed by the Clark Fork Watershed Education Program and faculty from Montana Tech of The University of Montana and Montana State University, with support from other Montana University System Faculty.
