What is a property of water that refers to water's ability to stick to other substances?
The water molecule is an electric dipole.
Its small size and its polarity which is caused by polar H-O bonds. This causes it to bond to other objects such as when sugar dissolves in water. However, it cannot bond to non-polar molecules which is why not everything dissolves in water.

How do waters relative densities as a solid and a liquid differ as a solid and a liquid differ from that of most other substances?
Water's density as a solid (ice) is lower than its density as a liquid, which is unusual compared to most substances that become denser when solidified. This unique property causes ice to float on liquid water, providing insulation for aquatic life below. Most other substances, like metals, increase in density when they transition from liquid to solid. This characteristic of water is crucial for the environment and climate, as it affects ocean currents and the stability of ecosystems.
