Furthermore, because water is a polar molecule, it has the ability to attract to other water molecules and stick together. In regards to the puddles of oil, the group concluded that they merely mixed due to it’s slippery chara

• The water molecules in this experiment experienced a process of cohesion. Water is a non polar molecule, because it has the ability to attract other water molecules and stick together.

From the results obtained from this experiment the interaction of salt and water or oil were different. When the crystal salt was placed on the side of the puddle of water, the water quickly absorbed and eventually dissolved the salt. The group was sure that their conclusion was precise because in water the atoms of some molecules separate and produce what is called ions. Ions are atoms or groups of atoms with a positive or negative charge. In salt (NaCl) two ions are produced and once in water the positively charged sodium (Na) and the negatively charged chloride (Cl) ions of salt attract the weakly charged water molecule. During this process water molecules surround the sodium and chloride ions, separating them and dissolving the ions in water. Materials such as salt, that attract water, is said to be hydrophilic (water-loving). As far as oil is concerned it did not absorb or dissolve the
