Answer:

Water is polar in nature and forms hydrogen bond.

Explanation:

Water forms hydrogen bonds even when it is at its normal state. This is so because water is highly polar in nature.Being polar in nature means , the molecules or atoms with in any compound arrange themselves in a polarized state where one group of atoms or molecules becomes positively charged while other group of atoms or molecules becomes negatively charged.

Therefore, more heat is required to break these hydrogen bonds in water as compared to any other molecule of similar shape or size.

Water is a polar molecule bcz oxygen bears partial negative charhe and hydrogen bears partial positive charge. This results in extensive hydrogen bonding btween water molecules. The temperature is another way of saying the average kinetic energy of gases liquids or vibration for the case of solids. The Heat Capacity is the ability of matter to absorb thermal energy. Water's specific heat is defined as one. Water has high heat capacity because it can store heat in many ways. Which makes its capacity higher than anything
