Some of water's properties are:

  • In a pure state, it has a neutral pH
  • It is a universal solvent
  • It has a high surface tension
  • Its viscosity is 1 cP (20 °C)
  • It has a high specific heat (amount of energy required to change the temperature)
  • It boils at 100°C at normal pressure
  • It is noncombustible
  • It has a density of 1 g/cm^3
  • Its molecules exist in liquid form over an important range of temperature from 0 - 100° Celsius.

A physical property is any property that is measurable whose value describes a state of a physical system.

What gives water cohesive and adhesive properties?

Water's cohesive properties are due to hydrogen bonding between water molecules. This attraction allows water molecules to stick together, creating surface tension and giving water its ability to form droplets. Water's adhesive properties are the result of hydrogen bonding between water and other molecules, allowing water to adhere to surfaces such as glass or plant tissues.
