    Water plays a crucial role in the human body by forming hydrogen bonds with organic and inorganic molecules. It acts as the solvent of life and maintains water balance, while disturbances can lead to diseases. The document discusses how a single water molecule forms hydrogen bonds, the dynamics of the water lattice frame, and examples of conditions involving water imbalance like edema and dehydration from sports.

    Water
    • Is the solvent of life

    • dipolar molecule

    • form hydrogen bonds with other organic polar molecules &


    inorganic salts
    Water and Hydrogen Bond Formation

    • single H2O molecule forms 4 hydrogen bonds

    • hydrogen bonds weaker then covalent bonds (1/20)

    • H2O lattice frame is dynamic (continuously breaking and reforming )

    • polar solutes can easily make H bonds with H2O


    Oedema

    Accumulation of excess water in
