Water molecules are special. But what makes them so special?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The polar bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water molecules make them special. This polarity allows water molecules to form hydrogen bonds with each other, giving water unique characteristics such as high surface tension, a high boiling point, and the ability to dissolve many substances. The abundance, structure, and state of matter (liquid) of water are also important characteristics but do not make water molecules as special as their polar bonds.
