Detailed explanation-1: -The properties of water include cohesion, adhesion, capillary action, surface tension, the ability to dissolve many substances, and high specific heat.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The four unique properties of water that make it unique are high specific heat, high polarity, adhesion cohesion, and a lower density as a solid. Water having a high specific heat allows it to absorb heat energy without a subsequent change in temperature.
Detailed explanation-3: -Discussion of the properties of water that make it essential to life as we know it: polarity, “universal” solvent, high heat capacity, high heat of vaporization, cohesion, adhesion and lower density when frozen.
Detailed explanation-4: -Polarity, Cohesion, and Adhesion The importance of water’s polarity can be boiled down to the phrase “opposites attract". Positive-negative attraction dictates how water behaves in some really important ways.
