  • 8 Key Physical Properties of Water Explained
    Here are eight physical properties of water:

    1. State: Water exists in three states of matter: solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (water vapor).

    2. Color: Pure water is colorless.

    3. Odor: Pure water is odorless.

    4. Density: Water has a density of 1 gram per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) at 4°C. This makes it denser than most liquids at room temperature.

    5. Freezing Point: Water freezes at 0°C (32°F).

    6. Boiling Point: Water boils at 100°C (212°F) at standard atmospheric pressure.

    7. Viscosity: Water has a relatively low viscosity, meaning it flows easily.

    8. Surface Tension: Water has a high surface tension due to the strong hydrogen bonds between its molecules. This is why water forms droplets and why some insects can walk on water.
