Water is a colorless, odorless and polar product that has various physical and chemical properties.
In the water molecule there is an irregular distribution of charges since there is a positive charge given by hydrogen and a fairly strong electronegative charge given by oxygen. The water molecules are interconnected by means of hydrogen bonds, which generates a high cohesion between the water molecules.
The water has a high surface tension due to these hydrogen bonds since they are strong bonds and have a high amount of energy. This surface tension is what gives water adhesion to the walls of some tube system (eg blood vessels) to give it this characteristic of capillary action.
Another of the properties of water is its high specific heat, that is, in order for the temperature of the water to increase, it has to absorb too much heat. This is due to the hydrogen bridge bonds, since these bonds are so strong, it is necessary to supply a lot of energy so that the temperature increases
Finally, the expansion of water upon freezing is because the water molecules take a hexagonal shape when they freeze, which generates greater dispersion of the molecules.
