Scientists spot water molecules flipping before they split, and it could help them produce cheaper hydrogen fuel
For the first time, scientists have observed water molecules splitting in real time to form hydrogen and oxygen. And right ...

Lesson 4.4: Energy Levels, Electrons, and Covalent Bonding
When two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom get close enough, the electron from each atom feels an attraction from the protons in the other atom's nucleus. This attraction pulls the atoms together. The ...

Lesson 5.1: Water is a Polar Molecule
The electron cloud model shows that electrons are not shared equally in the water molecule. Electrons are a bit more attracted to the oxygen atom than they are to the hydrogen atoms. This makes the ...
