What are some properties of water that are determine by its polarity?

Water's polarity helps make it an excellent solvent. Polar substances dissolve well in water as "like dissolves like," but nonpolar substances do not dissolve as readily. Hydrogen bonding gives water its cohesion and surface tension, allowing it to cling to itself. It also greatly affects water's freezing behavior and density. Hydrogen bonds are responsible for the characteristic crystal lattice structure of ice.

What makes water a excellent solvent?
Water is a good solvent due to its polarity. The single Oxygen molecule and two Hydrogen molecules do not share electrons equally, the Oxygen molecule takes precedent over the Hydrogen molecules. The Polarity and in some small part, the small molecular size makes water the, "Universal Solvent".
Why is concrete a solid but also liquid?
There can be a substance that has some liquid properties and some solit properties. For example, take some corn starch and mix some water into it until it turns into a kind of goo. It feels like solid sometimes and liquid at other times.
What are some properties of a matter?
phisical properties and chemical properties
A metolloid has?
A metallod has some properties of a metal and some properties of a nonmetal.
What are all the intermolecular forces when NACH3C00 is in water?
The compound is sodium acetate, and it is water soluble. When in water, it disocciates, forming Na+ ions and CH3COO- ions. These ions are then subject to water's strong polarity, so you will have some dipole-dipole interactions going on. Within those ions, you might have some dispersion forces going on as well, but those would be negligible.
What are some properties of water that is a result of its polarity?
Drinkability.
What are some properties of water that are determined by its polarity?

What are some of the especial properties of water?
Examples: boiling and freezing point, specific heat, polarity of the molecule, density, surface tension, solvent ability, etc.
Do the physical properties of water change when a compound is dissolved in water. If so which properties change and why?
The physical properties of water can change when a compound is dissolved in water. The dissolved compound will determine which properties change. Some will change the surface tension, others will change the pH. Many changes are possible.
What are some Properties of water?
High heat capacity, Polarity/ Solvent properties, Chemical reactivity and Cushioning in the body.
What properties of water make it a good solvent?
Water has extremely high polarity, making it an effective solvent for ionic and polar materials. It is non toxic and easy to dispose of. It does not have toxic fumes. It is cheap to obtain ( in some forms and compared to other solvents ).
How are properties of cork and iron different?
the materials that an object is made up of determine some properties.
What are some Phisical Properties of Matter?
A physical property refers to a measurable value that describes a state of a physical system. Some examples of physical properties of matter are color, odor, density, solubility and polarity.
Which two factors of the molecule determine whether or not it can cross the membrane?
size and shape. cell membranes are selectively permeable, so only some molecules can get through. (i.e. water can go through, but starch cant) Polarity and size.
What unique properties does the compound water have?
Some unique properties that the compound water has is oxygen, molecular chemicals, and hydrogen.
What are some chemical properties of water?
It is not a conductor.
What are some important properties of water?
When it freezes, it floats.
