In this video, we're going to briefly introduce some of the emergent properties of water. And so really, it's water's hydrogen bonding that gives rise to 4 emergent properties and really these 4 emergent properties of water are essential to maintain life on Earth. Now moving forward in our course, we're going to talk about each of these 4 emergent properties of water in their own separate videos. But notice down below we're showing you a table of the 4 emergent properties of water. And so the first is water's ability, to perform cohesion, adhesion, and to have surface tension.
The second emergent property of water is water's low density when it's in the solid ice form compared to the liquid water form. The third emergent property of water is its high specific heat and heat of vaporization. And then the fourth emergent property of water is that it is used as a universal solvent in mixed solutions. And so once again, we're going to talk about each of these 4 emergent properties of water in their own separate videos moving forward in our course. So I'll see you all in our next video.
