What is the main property of water?
A
Ice
B
Adhesion
C
Cohesion
D
Polarity
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Water molecules attract each other due to polarity. Polarity: Although the net charge of a water molecule is zero, water is polar because of its shape. The hydrogen ends of the molecule are positive and the oxygen end is negative. This causes water molecules to attract each other and other polar molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Unique properties of water Water molecules are polar, with partial positive charges on the hydrogens, a partial negative charge on the oxygen, and a bent overall structure.

Detailed explanation-3: -Polarity is a physical property of compounds which relates other physical properties such as melting and boiling points, solubility, and intermolecular interactions between molecules.
