Hey there, future biologist! 🌿 Ever wonder why water is the "universal solvent"? We're diving into the topic of solvation today, focusing on H₂O as the superstar solvent in biological systems. Let's break down the science jargon and make this as fun and simple as possible!
Polarity: Water molecules are polar, meaning they have different "poles" with different charges.
Polar Solutes: Water's partial positive and negative ends attract the similarly charged parts of polar solutes.
Positively Charged Ions: They are drawn to the negative oxygen pole of water.
Negatively Charged Ions: They love the positive hydrogen pole of water.
