Essay On Water Molecules

A water molecule is made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Oxygen and Hydrogen are gases but when combined form into a liquid compound; water. The hydrogen atoms make an angle of around 105 degrees with the oxygen atom. The oxygen atom dominates an end of the molecule while the hydrogen atoms dominate the other. The asymmetry of the water molecule causes the oxygen end to have a slight negative charge while the hydrogen end has a slightly positive charge. A molecule with both (-) and a (+) end is called a polar molecule and sometimes can act like a magnet. The (+) end of one water molecule repels the (+) of a different water molecule but and attracts a different molecule (-) end. Since the water molecule is not like this it holds together at normal temperature and makes a liquid. Water can be found in all three states liquid, a solid (ice), and …show more content…
Only floating microscopic organisms could life there because the planted doesn’t have a solid surface for life to develop. The free floating organisms would only be able to exist at the top of the clouds since the atmospheric pressure is more intense than Earths. The free floating organisms would have to be resistant to solar radiation though because the atmosphere is chaotic. Lastly the gravitational compression has heated areas close to the core over 18,000 degree Fahrenheit. With the information today that we have on Jupiter it cannot support life.
Europa one of Jupiter’s moons is one of the best bets for supporting life. Europa might have an icy crust but below it there’s a liquid ocean that has more water than Earth. There is a possibility that beneath Europa’s surface there are actives volcanoes that heat the water there for providing vents were bacteria may live. Does have high radiation levels but the ocean is also shielded from radiation. Europa has water, energy, and organic chemicals which are the key for
