man in glasses : hello , there . here at crash course hq we like to start out each day with a nice healthy dose of water in all its 3 forms . it 's the only substance on all of our planet earth that occurs naturally in solid , liquid and gas forms . to celebrate this magical bond between two hydrogen atoms and one oxyg...
what happens when there is a molecule that can not break the cohesive forces of water ? it ca n't penetrate and come into it . basically , what happens when that substance ca n't overcome the strong cohesive forces of water , ca n't get inside of the water ? that 's when we get what we call a hydrophobic substance , or...
why ca n't we make water in laboratories by combining hydrogen and oxygen ?

start out with the hydrogen bonds and you should put it in all caps and maybe some sparkles around it . one of the cool properties that results from these hydrogen bonds is a high cohesion for water which results in high surface tension . cohesion is the attraction between two like things , like attraction between one ...

not only would it totally wreak havoc on aquatic eco systems which are basically how life formed on the earth in the first place . also , all the ice in the north pole would sink and then all of the water everywhere else would rise and we would n't have any land . that would be annoying .
given the partial positive charge on both hydrogen atoms in the water molecule would n't it makes sense for them repel each other and end with more energy efficient configuration of straight line bond configuration rather than v-shape which would have both of them bunched together ?
