what is the most peculiar feature of water?

Question

all the other substance will sink in their liquid form.but ice cannot sink in water

Answer 1

It has max. density when it is 4 degree C.From that point it will expand whether you heat or cool it.

Answer 2

You're not supposed to answer your own question, but you are essentially correct. All other substances will sink when their SOLID form is immersed in their liquid form. But water crystals expand because of the hydrogen ion bonds that cause them only to arrange in hexagonal forms. This means the molecules actually expand when they freeze, making them lighter per unit of volume than liquid water.

Answer 3

That is because it is unique in the fact that water expands when changed to a solid (ice). All other substances shrink when turned into a solid.

Answer 4

i think that the most peculiar of water is that most if not all other matter will expand when heated and contract when cooled, water will expand when frozen, that's why ice will float on water.
as ice has a higher volume for the same mass? means that the density is less.hope that answers your question.
God bless,

Answer 5

It is the only molecule that can exist as a solid, a liquid and a gas in the same natural environment.

Answer 6

water's density is 1

Answer 7

WATER MAIN KO BHI COLOUR DALO VO USI COLOR KA HO JATA HAI.
WATER WILL TURN IN TO THAT COLOUR WHICH U PUT INTO IT. THIS IS THE MOST UNIQUE FEATURE

Answer 8

water is the only thing that expands when it is frozen

Answer 9

That without such there's no life in this planet

Answer 10

It's the elixir of life.
