Water’s ability to stabilize temperature is one of its temperature is one of its properties. ... An ice cube cooling a drink is an example of water’s ability to stabilize temperature. ... Because of hydrogen bonding, water usually resists changing its temperature. Therefore, when hydrogen bonds break, heat is absorbed and makes water change its temperature. Water must have a relatively high kinetic energy to break to break the hydrogen bonds. ... This property affects all life on Earth because all organisms are made of mostly of water. For example, on a hot summer day, the water absorbs heat, stores it, and we gain only a few degrees. But on a cold winter day, the heat that the water stored releases and warms our bodies. ...
Water’s expansion upon freezing is also one of its unique properties. An example of this property of water is ice’s ability to float .
