Properties of Water
Molecules
A water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. 
The oxygen atom in a water molecule tries to keep most of the electrons to itself leading it to have a slight negative charge and the hydrogen atoms have a slight positive charge.
Hydrogen bonds
When multiple water molecules connect, they are connected by an oxygen atom of one molecule, being drawn to a hydrogen atom of another molecule. Called cohesion.

States of matter
Solid
-
When the top layer of a body of water becomes a solid, the molecules expand and becomes less dense. Results in floating ice.

-
Capillary action
When water is trying to move upward into plants, it goes through the xylem to be able to nourish the entire plant.
-
Cohesion
When one molecule sticks to the xylem, all the other molecules stick together to form a line and go up through the plant together.
