PROPERTIES OF WATER

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which three are properties of water?
A
solvent, specific heat, water vapor
B
solvent, cohesion, adhesion
C
solid, cohesion, adhesion
D
cohesion, adhesion, structure
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cohesion, adhesion, and surface tension of water and how they relate to hydrogen bonding.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Adhesion and Cohesion are water properties that affect how water interacts with itself and with other things like leaves and even you!
