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.
