Question

list three unique properties of water?

Answer 1

1) Water has an unusual ability to dissolve other substances.

2) It has an anomalously high dielectric constant.

3) It has the ability to form colloidal sols.

4) The density of water increases as it is cooled to 4 degrees C and then its density begins to decrease as the temperature decreases to 0 degrees C, the freezing point of water. As the freezing point is approached, hydrogen bonds relax and form a crystal lattice that keeps molecules further apart than they are in liquid water. This is the reason why ice floats and ponds don't freeze solid.
