  • Biology A1.1.1 Water

    Biology A1.1.1 Water

    Learning Objectives Part 1 Theory of Water Hydrogen Bonding in Water Due to the high electronegativity of O, it pulls the shared electrons towards it making H atoms to be an area of electron deficit (δ+). The O side as the result is now δ– as it is an electron rich region When two water…
