Summary Introduction

To explain:

The role of hydrogen bonds in the properties of water.

Introduction:

Water forms 60-70% of the weight of living organisms. The water molecules have a hydrogen bonding present in the molecules. This provides unique properties to the water molecules. The absence of the formation of the hydrogen bonds at -100oC (degree Celsius) causes water to freeze and boil at -91oC. The water becomes liquid due to the formation of the hydrogen bonds. It freezes at 0oC and boils at 100oC.
