Water
Main characteristics
Water molecules are polar, and hydrogen bonds form between them
Hydrogen bonding and dipolarity explain the cohesive, adhesive, thermal and solvent properties of water
-
Habitat
-
Ice
Less dense than liquid water, which allows it to float
Lakes, rivers freeze from top to bottom, allowing species to survive even if surface is frozen

Properties
Thermal
Changes phases as more energy is added, and it is a good coolant
-
Dipolarity: uneven distribution of charges, bonds are known as polar bonds
Bonds that are formed when a hydrogen atom is electrostatically attracted to a different highly electronegative atom
