Water Forces

The video explains the unique properties of water, focusing on hydrogen bonding. It describes how water molecules are held together by strong covalent bonds and how hydrogen bonds create slight charges, leading to water's unusual properties. Unlike most substances, water becomes less dense when it freezes, causing ice to float. This phenomenon provides insulation for aquatic life. Additionally, hydrogen bonding affects water's surface tension, allowing small insects to walk on water.

What happens to water molecules when the temperature falls and water freezes?

Describe how the surface tension of water allows small insects to walk on it.
