Properties of Water ✏ Biology In a Nutshell
Solvent
It is used as a hydrophilic solvent as a solvent in which water is well melted.
High heat capacity
Due to its high heat capacity, the reaction to changes in the room temperature is stable.
Floating
Since water contains hydrogen bonds, it becomes bulky and less dense when frozen, allowing ice to float in liquid water.
Strong cohesion and high surface tension
Hydrogen bonds between water molecules produce this force.
Strong adhesion strength
This force affects capillary action.
