Depicting in the form of dot-art the atomic & molecular structure of water. Each aspect of the painting represents the nuclear & electron configuration as well as the bonding type.
What is water? This painting shows the sub-atomic and molecular structure of water - not pure H2O, but a liquid containing dissolved ions essential to life. The composition of water tells the story of the journey of H2O from the atmosphere to earth to ocean. Each stage impacts both the composition of water and the environment.
• Ions represented are:
Chlorine: Cl- (orange)
Sulphur: S2- (yellow)
Magnesium: Mg2+ (pink)
Sodium: Na+ (red)
Calcium: Ca2+ (green)
Potassium: K+ (purple)
Carbonate: HCO3- (dissolved carbon dioxide)
• Each atom shows the protons and neutrons in the nucleus and the electrons are represented in their orbitals around the nucleus. The outer bonding orbital is represented as either white for a positive charge or black for a negative charge.• The water molecules show both the covalent bonding between the atoms of the molecule and the intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
This acrylic painting is constructed of coloured dots approximately 1mm in diameter.
