Properties of Water

Ice is less dense than liquid water.

As water freezes, the molecules move farther apart, decreasing its density.

They are light enough not to break the hydrogen bonds holding the water molecules together.

Increasing the temperature increases the rate of dissolution.

The number of accidents.

Cohesion is the attraction between water molecules due to hydrogen bonding.

Adhesion is the attraction between water molecules and other substances.

Surface tension is the cohesive force at the surface of water that allows it to resist external force.

Water has a partial positive charge on one side and a partial negative charge on the other, due to its bent shape and unequal sharing of electrons.

It allows water to absorb and release large amounts of heat without significant temperature changes, stabilizing climates.
