Water's unique. There is nothing like it in the known universe and ... it's the most important compound in terms of supporting life as we know it in an existence we will never fully understand. Here are some of the reasons why this take on H2O rings true.
- Hyfrogen's unique bonding angle to oxygen
- Polarity
- High heat of vaporization
- High heat capacity
- Less density as a solid
- High adhesion
- High density
- High surface tension
- Universal lubricant
- Universal solvent
- High vscosity
- High attraction to other polar molecules
- Low boiling point
- High cohesion level
- Exists in nature as a solid, liquid, and gas
- Easy access to it's three states of matter
- High heat capacity
- Exists as a liquid at room temperature
- Dissolves easily
- Cannot be compressed
One aspect of water not often discussed is the ability of ice to track entropy due to the fact ice expands because of water being less dense aa a solid. This expansion effect becomes apparent when the temperature falls below freezing and ice transforms into an amazing time machine showing how entropy's randomness level decreases as the temperature in the environment continues to go down.
