Concept explainers
To predict: The way by which the physical properties of water will be different if the hydrogen bonds is stronger.
Introduction: Water is an inorganic compound that is used as a universal solvent. The H2O is the chemical formula of water. It is a tasteless and odorless liquid at room temperature. Water is a polar inorganic solvent, which is amphoteric in nature. It means that it can act as a base and an acid at the same time.
