Solvent Properties of Water [IB Biology SL/HL]

In this video, we break down Solvent Properties of Water (IB Biology A1.1.5) so you can understand how water’s polarity makes life possible. Water is a polar molecule, and this polarity gives it powerful solvent properties that are essential for transport, metabolism, and homeostasis in living organisms. We’ll cover: Why water is a polar solvent How hydrogen bonding allows water to dissolve polar substances Hydrophilic vs hydrophobic molecules How ionic compounds dissolve (solvation & hydration shells) Ion–dipole interactions (Na⁺ and Cl⁻ example) Why non-polar substances require micelles or proteins for transport The role of water in blood plasma and nutrient transport Why most metabolic reactions occur in aqueous environments Understanding the solvent properties of water is essential for explaining nutrient transport, enzyme activity, and cellular homeostasis. Whether you're revising for SL or HL, this lesson will help you structure clear, high-scoring answers. Join the dojo: https://www.revisiondojo.com
