Particle P travels on an elliptical path, as shown above. The equation for an ellipse in polar form is provided above, with the origin of the polar coordinates at point O. The animation below shows ...
is locked away at the centre and no matter what direction you approach the molecule from you see a \(\delta-\) charge. This means that the molecule itself is non-polar due to symmetry.
The attraction of polar water molecules to each other helps create water's strong surface tension. The water molecules beneath the surface are pulled in all directions. The molecules at the surface ...
