Detailed explanation-1: -The statement that water becomes denser when it freezes is not a property of water.
Detailed explanation-2: -Water (H 2O) is a polar inorganic compound that is at room temperature a tasteless and odorless liquid, which is nearly colorless apart from an inherent hint of blue. It is by far the most studied chemical compound and is described as the “universal solvent” and the “solvent of life".
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.
Detailed explanation-4: -The unique physical properties, including a high heat of vaporization, strong surface tension, high specific heat, and nearly universal solvent properties of water are also due to hydrogen bonding.
Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: The following is not a property of water: A) nonpolar. Water is a polar molecule, due to its molecular structure. It is the polarity of water that gives it many of its unique properties.
