Question

What characteristics of water molecules make it unique?

Answer 1

1. Water is a universal solvent that can dissolve wide varieties of chemical substances.

2. water is the only molecule in the earth which is available in all three states:solid liquid and gas.

3. water in pure form is neutral.

4.pure water is colorless, tasteless, and odorless.

5.  pure water gets frozen at 0 degree C and boils at 100 degree C under 1 atmospheric pressure.

Answer 2

Answer:

Water molecules are polar, so they form hydrogen bonds. This gives water unique properties, such as a relatively high boiling point, high specific heat, cohesion, adhesion and density.

Because water seems so ubiquitous, many people are unaware of the unusual and unique properties of water, including:

Boiling Point and Freezing Point.

Surface Tension, Heat of Vaporization, and Vapor Pressure.

Viscosity and Cohesion.

Solid State.

Liquid State.

Gas State.
