Interpretation:
Three physical properties of water are to be listed.
Concept introduction:
Water is composed of two hydrogen atoms and single oxygen atom. The ratio of composition is always constant. So the property is fixed for the water molecule.
Answer to Problem 33A
The three main physical properties of water are −boiling point, freezing point and viscosity.
Explanation of Solution
Water is the only substance that is present in three physical states − solid, liquid an
The boiling point of water is fixed that is. When extra heat is applied, the intermolecular space increases and at
Freezing point of water is zero. The water molecule arranged in a complex manner and intermolecular space decreases and at the end it is negligible.
The viscosity of water explains the intermolecular force of attraction, from this force water molecule flows in the form of liquid.
Hence, boiling point, freezing point and viscosity are three main physical properties of water.
