Interpretation:
The formation of water on earth is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Water is a common liquid that is present on the Earth.
It is also known as universal solvent. It can dissolve a wide range of organic and inorganic solutes.
Water is vital for the existence of all living animals. Without water, no life form can exist, it constitutes an important part of rivers, lakes, streams, clouds, snow and ice.
Water is truly an unusual molecule such that being a low molar mass compound, it exists as a liquid at room temperature and has an anonymously high boiling point.
Ice floats on water because it has a lower density than water.
The temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the pressure exerted on the liquid by the surrounding atmosphere is called boiling point.
A hydrogen bonding is a partially electrostatic force of attraction between a hydrogen atom which is bound to more electronegative atom such as nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine and another atom bearing a lone pair of electrons.
A molecular formula consists of the
