Water is weird… really weird. We’re gonna dive into the controversial chemistry and heated debates around the science of what gives water it’s super unusual properties, and maybe bust a popular water myth along the way. #H2O #hydrogenbonding #dinosaurpee You might also like: Extracting Gold from Seawater https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5eomDz4Z0E Why is There Plastic in Our Rain? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUAaurZKi6U How Much Water Can Kill You? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvcbIXvWl_k Can We Make Ocean Water Drinkable - and Should We? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q16qpo99JEE Credits: Executive Producers: Hilary Hudson Producers: Elaine Seward Andrew Sobey Darren Weaver Writer/Host: Alex Dainis, PhD Scientific consultants: Michelle Boucher, PhD Xijie Wang, PhD Emiliano Brini, PhD Brianne Raccor, PhD Sources: How Water’s Properties Are Encoded in Its Molecular Structure and Energies: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/acs.chemrev.7b00259 Why is the maximum density of water at 4°C? https://socratic.org/questions/why-is-the-maximum-density-of-water-at-4-c A Two-State Picture of Water and the Funnel of Life: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1905.02757.pdf What is life?-lecture: Lars G M Pettersson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ijHgccuhLE Dipole-Dipole Force: https://courses.lumenlearning.com/introchem/chapter/dipole-dipole-force/#:~:text=The%20permanent%20dipole%20in%20water,slight%20negative%20charge%20(%CE%B4%2D).
