Exploring the Properties of Water

The video explores the chemical formula of water (H2O), highlighting its unique properties such as existing in all three states of matter and being less dense in solid form. It delves into the molecular structure of water, explaining its polarity and how covalent bonds hold the atoms together. The video also covers water's cohesive and adhesive properties, which contribute to its role as a near-universal solvent. It illustrates how water dissolves substances like salt by breaking them into ions, emphasizing water's importance in sustaining life on Earth.
