Water has many unique properties that make it essential to life
on earth. These properties are due to the fact that:
A. Water is polar molecule
B. Water is hydrophobic
C. Water molecules are attracted to each other
D. Both a and b
E. Both a and c - Correct Option (Water is a
polar molecule and it has partial negative charge near the oxygen
atom and partial positive charge near the hydrogen atoms. Water
molecules are also attracted to each other this leads to the
formation of hydrogen bond with each other. This is also due to
polar nature of water and dipole dipole attractions)
