Physics and Chemistry of Water

Physics and Chemistry of Water. [DVD-1472]. 21 min. 2007, c1967. Now on DVD.

Shows how the nature of the water molecule determines the physical properties of water. Points out that life is dependent on some of the unusual properties of water--its slow rate of evaporation, its high surface tension, its powers of solution, and the fact that it is heavier in the liquid than the solid form--and expains that all of these properties are determined by the nature and function of the hydrogen bond in water.
