Answer:

Water's high heat capacity is a property caused by hydrogen bonding among water molecules

Because of its polarity and ability to form hydrogen bonds, water makes an excellent solvent, meaning that it can dissolve many different kinds of molecules

Water is cohesive and adhesive because of the charges of its hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
