Animation showing the process by which glucose dissolves in water. Glucose dissolves in water because polar water molecules attach to the glucose molecules. When a glucose molecule (centre) is placed into water the negatively charged oxygen ions (red) attract and surround the positively charged O-H (hydroxyl- ) groups in glucose, forming hydrogen bonds (white). These bonds become so strong that they make the glucose molecules separate. | |
