Water has this property as a result of the chemical bonding between water. Cohesion of the strong hydrogen bonds allows the water molecules to stick together‚ almost as a unit of one. A force exerted on one of the molecules will be exerted on all of the adjacent molecules as a result of cohesion. Cohesion‚ often

One property of water that makes life possible on earth is its solid state‚ (frozen).Water is less dense as a solid than it is as a liquid‚ which enables ice to float. When its temperature falls below 4 degrees Celsius‚ the molecules slow down to a point where they are not moving fast enough in order to break the hydrogen bonds‚ therefore making the bonds more stable. The bonds then are farther apart‚ making the solid less dense. Water is one of the few molecules that has this property‚ allowing
