Understanding the Bonding and Surface Tension of Water
23:26 - 37:50 (14:23)
The covalent bonds between water molecules create its unique properties, including surface tension and the ability for things to float. Understanding the science behind it can help explain icebergs and water's role on earth.
Clips
Water molecules bond with each other through covalent bonds which creates a surface tension, allowing objects to float or stay at the surface.

Summary
Water molecules bond with each other through covalent bonds which creates a surface tension, allowing objects to float or stay at the surface. The distance between these bonds changes with temperature, making water unique in its solid and liquid states.
