We all know water is a polar substance. This means it has a small amount of positivity/negativity. As seen in the diagram below, the O atom is slightly negative, and the H atoms are slightly positive. Labels: non-polar bears
Hence, water is a polar solvent. Polar substances disolve/dissociate in polar solvents. Water is different from benzene. Benzene is non-polar.
The ring of delocalised electrons make it non-polar. Er. Somehow. I think. Ok that's enough, let's move on now.
Unfortunately, as you can see in the above two diagrams, "polar" bears love water. They swim in it, play around, catch fish. BUT why don't they dissolve in water if they are polar? Hence, we at Mugalomaniac have decided to start a Save the Non-Polar Bear Campaign so as to alert the public and to make others aware of the fact that polar bears are actually, non-polar.
Our goal is to change the world and scientific community's naming of polar bears into non-polar bears to be more scienticifally accurate. You can support the SNPBC by making a small donation to Mugalomaniac, or buying a SNPBC badge or collar pin from us at $2 and $1 respectively. All proceeds will go to the SNPBC fund. SNPBC is a non-governmental organisation with no political affiliations. SNPBC also would like to assure potential and future contributors and volunteers that our bathroom fixtures are 100% pure stainless steel.
To prove our cause, SNPBC also produced a recent video of us dipping a polar bear into benzene to demonstrate that "polar" bears are non-polar. Since polar substances dissolve in polar solvents, and non-polar substances dissolve in non-polar solvents, you can imagine what happened in the video. (Truth is somehow Photoshop was screwing up my last drawing stupidly. =.=)
[The author/artist would like to apologise for the lack of quality (if any) in these few pictures. He would like to state he is more used to drawing stick figures, and has tried to make the "polar" bear cute already.]
