Question

What is anamoulous property of water?

Answer 1

The anomalous properties of water are those where the behavior of liquid water is quite different from what is found with other liquids .  These hydrogen bonds also produce and control the local tetrahedrali arrangement of the water molecules. The strength and directionality of the hydrogen bonds control liquid water’s thermodynamic and dynamic behavior. If hydrogen-bonding did not exist, water would behave non-anomalously as expected from similar molecules. No other material is commonly found as solid (ice), liquid (water), or gas (steam). Frozen water (ice) also shows anomalies when compared with other solids. Although it is an apparently simple molecule (H2O), it has a highly complex and anomalous character due to its inter-molecular hydrogen bonding . As a gas, water is one of lightest known, as a liquid, it is much denser than expected and as a solid, it is much lighter than expected when compared with its liquid form. It can be extremely slippery and extremely sticky at the same timed, and this 'stick/slip' behavior is how we recognize the feel of water . Many other anomalies of water may remain to be discovered, such as the possible link of water to room temperature superconductivity .  .
