Question

Why the water is an inorganic, transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless chemical substance?

Answer 1

Why is water colorless?

It is actually not. It is weakly blue which becomes apparent when a lot of it is gathered in one place. It is definitely not very strongly colored though. That is very common. Very few pure simple substances are strongly colored. Pure salt and sugar are transparent and colorless too. In bulk they look white because the tiny crystals scatter light, but snow does the same. A liquid forms one homogeneous mass.

In nature, of course, substances are rarely pure. Therefore not so many things look colorless. It only takes a little bit of a strongly colored impurity to color the whole thing. Just look at Himalaya salt or unrefined sugar or orange juice.

Why is water tasteless?

Because we don’t need to taste it. We get a good idea of the water content of food from the feel of it. Other liquids are usually oils, which feel very different. Besides it is not all that important exactly how much water is in one particular food item, if we need hydration then we drink stuff which is definitely mostly water.

The sense of taste not registering water frees up capacity to detect other things.

Why is water odorless?

Likewise because we don’t need to smell it. There is no real evolutionary advantage to be able to instantly tell the moisture content of the air. Better to use the sense of smell to detect poisons, food nearby, relatives or strangers etc. than to tell how the weather is today. We can tell how the weather is by other means.

Answer 2

Water is inorganic, transparent, delicate, odourless, and almost colourless.

Step-by-step explanation:

How colourless is the water?

In fact, it isn't. It's weakly blue, and when many of them are gathered together, it gets obvious. However, it's obviously not very colourful. This is a pretty common occurrence. Very few simple materials are coloured intensely. Pure salt and sugar are also colourless and clear. They look white in mass because the little crystals disperse light, but the snow does the same. A fluid forms a uniform bulk.

Substances are seldom pure in nature, of course. Not so much looks colourless, therefore. It takes just a few colourful uncleanness to colour the whole thing. Look for Himalayan salt or sugar or orange juice unprocessed.

Why is water odourless?

We don't have to taste it because of this. From that feeling, we obtain a decent estimate of the water content of food. The oils, which feel much different, usually are other liquids. Moreover, the exact amount of water in a certain food item is not all so important, if we need moisture we will certainly drink things that are primarily water.

The sensation of taste without water releases the ability to discern other things.

Why does water smell?

We don't have to smell it, too. There is no genuine advantage of being able to identify the humidity of the air instantaneously. It's better to use the sense of smell to detect poisons, nutrients, relatives or strangers, etc. IN various ways, we can tell how the weather is.
