Answer 1

Answer:

cohesion, large heat capacity, low density as a solid, and good solvent

Explanation:

Water is a good solvent and is important in dissolving some compounds and changing them into

liquid state.

Water has a large heat capacity which means it can absorb large amount of heat before drying up and this is important in the homeostatic process of plants and animals.

It has a low density as a solid which simply means its solid form isn’t denser and heavy compared to other solids.

It has good cohesive Forces which encourages surface tension. This surface tension prevents the breaking of substances under stress.
