Detailed explanation-1: -Each water molecule is joined to one another by hydrogen bonds. These hydrogen bonds is responsible for the unique properties exhibited by water including adhesion & cohesion, solubility etc.

Detailed explanation-2: -Due to the extensive hydrogen bonding, water has some emergent properties that impact life on Earth in many ways. These include: Cohesion, Adhesion, High surface tension, High specific heat, High Heat of vaporization, and the fact that ice floats (Ice is less dense as a solid than liquid water).

Detailed explanation-3: -Which property of water molecules explains the other properties listed below? One property of water that makes it unique is its density.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cohesion and adhesion of water: Water can stick to itself (cohesion) and other molecules (adhesion). Specific heat, heat of vaporization, and density of water: Water has a high heat capacity and heat of vaporization, and ice-solid water-is less dense than liquid water.
