Question

Water, as a polar molecule, has many interesting properties. Which of the following properties is most closely associated with polarity

Surface tension

Liquid at room temperature

Solvent of non-polar substances

Shape as a solid

Answer 1

all of the above.

The properties of water are:

1) polar molecules

2) regulates temperature

3) universal solvent

4) high surface tension

5) can exist in all three stages of matter

Answer 2

The Answer is surface tension.

The polarity of water molecules means that molecules of water will stick to each other. This is called hydrogen bonding. Polarity makes water a good solvent, gives it the ability to stick to itself (cohesion), stick to other substances (adhesion), and have surface tension (due to hydrogen bonding).
