    One minute animation and you understand how it works. Twenty hours at school and you understand that you hate chemistry because you don't understand anything.

    It's rare to find a video that perfectly answers the question you had in mind when searching for the answer. This video contained exactly the info I was looking for without any extra.

    I've heard that water breaks ionic bonds over and over again but I never understood it until now. Thanks!

    In this animation, it is only about salt or scientifically known as sodium chloride (NaCl).
    In a nut-shell, the charges of the water molecule are attracted to the opposite charges of the NaCL , so the water molecule essentially rips apart (dissociates) the NaCL molecule.
    BUT, what this animation shows is the fundamental reason why water or any other solvent such as alcohol, or benzene, or Mr. Clean etc, is that solvent molecules can dissolve other molecules by their attracting opposite charges.

    The polar water molecule makes since. I always was skeptical when I was told salts dissolve in water and the ions just swim around randomly. It seems more plausible that water forms a cage and the opposite charges attract. The bonds can only be rearranged by an electric current or a salt solution which reacts to form a salt that has low solubility

    I really loved this video because it showed how atoms are like magnets, and in such a simple way. But one question, the water actually separates the Sodium atom from the Chloride atoms? Left me a little confused because I assume that then salt water would be poisonous to us.

  • @Quintinohthree
    @Quintinohthree Před 11 lety +1

    Chloride and sodium ions have none of the properties of chlorine gas and sodium metal specifically because they've exchanged an electron. Because of this, the sodium ion has the exact same configuration as a neon atom, and the chloride ion as an argon atom.

  • @agent475816

  • @Skellborn
    @Skellborn Před rokem

    2 questions:
    1: How come the Na/cl Ions keep their charge after being seperated? They get it, when exchanging electrons while binding (na "gives" cl an electron), shouldnt they give it back once they get seperated?
    2: Whats the difference between chlorine ions dissolved in water from salt and chlorine ions dissolved in water to desinfect it?
    I always thought the saltmolecule stays intact, but this animation makes it seem otherwise

  • @timmyshiong592

  • @masterofdynamic
    @masterofdynamic Před 2 lety +1

    Hello, I have a question. There is an ionic bond between the NaCl molecule. So, in this dissolution event, does the ion-dipole interaction formed by water and salt break the strong ionic bond?Or is something different happening? I would appreciate your , thank you :)

    • @filipealarza9079
      @filipealarza9079 Před rokem

      NaCl + H2O = Na+ and Cl-, both aqueous.
      If you evaporate the water, you will be back with the same NaCl.

    @titidechdamrongwut1351 Před 7 lety +1

    Does this mean Polarity force from either H or O of water stronger than ionic bond between Na and Cl? I learnt that ionic bond is very strong so they can form solid phrase only.

    • @sherazkhan2802
      @sherazkhan2802 Před 7 lety +1

    • @eclipse12y
      @eclipse12y Před 6 lety

      What I learned it that the polarity force is very strong, due to more electronegativity difference so maybe it is stronger than the ionic bond.

    • @kevinmoseni
      @kevinmoseni Před 6 lety +1

      The animation showed that the polarity of 3 water molecules exceeded the polarity of the lattice to abstract a single ion. Yes, ionic bonds are strong, but the net effect from the multiple water molecules was sufficient to overpower.

    Super interesting! What's this process called? Does a salt need to have certain properties for water to pull it apart like this?

    • @an1me451
      @an1me451 Před 2 lety

      Yes, salt has to be polar as well. In this case, the NaCl (ionic compound) has formed a giant lattice, which allows the polar water molecules to pull it apart it. The process in this case is just the DISSOLVING of ions in water
