What is unusual about solid water compared to solids of other materials?
ice
Why does water expand as it freezes unlike most substances so ice is less dense than water?
No because water doesn't expand when heated and when it is cooled it contracts then forms ice crystals which cause it to give the appearance that it has expanded
What property does water have that is unique when compared to all other natural substances?
It can take the shape of any container.
Does water have a high boiling point?
Water has a boiling point of 100 degrees celcius. This is about average compared to the boiling point of other substances.

Water and ammonia both have low vapor pressures compared to other substances like carbon dioxide or hydrogen gas because of?
hydrogen bonding~
How water is obtained?
Water can be obtain from a solution or a mixtureÊ by distillation. This because water has low boiling point as compared to several substances.
