@Ghost Utmost on a not so esoteric note

water is rarely in the "H2O" state

its actually in H3O+ or OH- in equlibrium ...which is the actual reason its in motion (van der walls and electro static forces)

thats why in chemistry they always refer to it as "aqueous solutions"

such that in a liquid state: the molecules are in their respective ions and rotating and exchanging electrons which then cause the rotations

this is contrasted with solid crystalline state (which is what pure H2O actually turns to) and gaseous state (which is also pure H2O)

so in all actuality its thank God for H3O+ and OH- :blessed: @Marks

Is that what they mean when they say pure water isn't a good conductor of electricity, or did I hear wrong? It sounds like electrons are already moving around

it depends on what else is in the water, electrolytes are just dissolved ions in water

there is a whole field of just electrolytes and their properties in water

Nah, I know what distilled is
I've heard the waiter say "still water"

This was at an Italian restaurant though:lupe:

So like...

You can scrub a dried up crusty bowl or you can run water in it and let it sit for 10 min..

After 10 min you can damn near rinse it out. The scrubbing becomes 10x easier.

It's cause of the motion of the agua. Even "sitting still".

If you were to take what @MMS said as absolute, then pure water SHOULD be a perfect conductor. It would have the ionic potential to carry a charge since it’s always H3O+ or OH-. In reality though, autoionization and reconstitution into H2O happens so quickly that water still ends up having a net neutral charge. So pure water sucks at conducting because for all the movement of electrons it still cancels itself out very quickly.

Add literally any extra ion though and ⚡⚡

Water is commoditized to the point where there's over 100 brands of it and Pepsi paid millions for Aquafina
It's water ok? fukking water
And they're trading and speculating on it like it's a Tesla stock and shyt. FOH
