Water has many physical properties (properties that can be observed or measured without changing the composition of matter):

  • High surface tension
  • High specific heat index
  • It exists in liquid form over an important range of temperature from 0 - 100° Celsius.
  • It boils at 100° Celsius
  • It freezes at 0° Celsius
  • Odorless
  • Universal solvent
  • Density is is approximately one gram per cubic centimeter

How does hydrogen affect the properties of water?

Hydrogen in water molecules forms hydrogen bonds, which give water its unique properties such as high surface tension, cohesion, and adhesion. These properties are important for various biological and chemical processes.


What are the 4 properties of an alkali?

The four properties of an alkali are: 1) Bitter taste, 2) Caustic or corrosive to skin, 3) Turns red litmus paper blue, and 4) Reacts with acids to form salts and water.


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.
