Properties of Water and Solid Structures by Ayesha Mhallawi is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Water has unique properties due to its molecular structure and intermolecular forces. As a polar molecule, water is able to form hydrogen bonds between oxygen and hydrogen atoms of neighboring molecules. This allows water to have relatively high boiling and freezing points compared to other molecules of similar molar mass. It also gives water high heat capacity, heat of vaporization, and surface tension due to cohesive and adhesive properties. These properties are important for regulating temperature and tr
