Discuss the special properties of water that contribute to Earth's suitability as an environment for life: cohesive behavior. abiliW to moderate temperature. expansion uoon freezing. and versatilitv as a solvent.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Water has following properties as

  1. cohesive behavior.
  2. ability to moderate temperature.
  3. expansion upon freezing.
  4. and versatility as a solvent.

Explanation:

  • The cohesive behavior is the attraction between the molecules of the same substance and cause the water molecules to be drawn together.
  • Ability to moderate temperature, due to the multiple hydrogen bonds between the water it has a heat capacity which allows for large bodies of water to absorb heat.
  • Expansion upon freezing means that it creates a drastic change in the environment and allows it to cool and freeze,
  • Versatility as a solvent gives it the ability to dissolve compounds and other polar molecules.
