Water is a bent, polar compound and possesses the ability to Hydrogen bond. As a result, it has unique solubility characteristics as a solvent and functions differently at different temperatures.
Famous quotes containing the word water:
“Why are a lady’s thighs always cool? That is, said the monk, due to three causes for which a place is always naturally cool: primo, because water runs all the way down it; secondo, because it is in a shady, dark and obscure place, where the sun never shines; and thirdly, because it is continually fanned by the winds from the breezy hole.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
