I've read a few papers regarding the effects of a uniform magnetic field on water solutions, but I'm a complete illiterate when it comes to deciphering the jargon. So far, many papers confirm that a uniform magnetic field strengthens hydrogen bonds and can increase the redox potential. I've included two papers exploring the effects. I hope someone can explain how this is happening.

Many experiments and textbooks confirm that (in the contemporary fashion) the orbit of an electron will speed up or slow down due to the orientation of a magnetic field.

"Effect of a Magnetic Field on an Atomic Orbital" Sami M. AL-Jaber1, AbdelRahman M. Abu-Labdeh2

Does the speed electron orbit affect the atom's potential to form a bond?

Here's a research paper exploring the effects of a magnetic field on the surface tension of water.

The conclusions were that surface tension increased. How is this happening? I appreciate your help!
