Water Properties Concept Map Explained
A properties of water concept map shows how the unusual behavior of water follows from its molecular structure. Water is a polar molecule, so hydrogen bonds form between molecules. These bonds explain cohesion, adhesion, surface tension, high specific heat and the fact that ice floats. A good map links each property to its cause and to the effect it has on living things.
- Polarity: uneven sharing of electrons creates partial charges
- Cohesion and adhesion: water sticks to itself and to other surfaces
- Heat capacity: water absorbs much heat with little temperature change
- Density: ice is less dense than liquid water, so it floats
Use the map to revise by tracing each property from its cause to its effect. To build a personalized water map from your own notes, try CogniGuide.

Water Properties Questions Answered
Common questions about water's properties and how to map them.
Why does water have such high surface tension?
Water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds. At the surface, molecules are pulled inward by their neighbors, which forms a tight layer that resists breaking.
Why does ice float on water?
In ice, hydrogen bonds hold molecules in an open lattice with more space between them. This makes ice less dense than liquid water, so it floats.
Which files can I use to make my own water map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or images. You can also type the topic directly.
Can I turn my water properties map into a quiz?
Yes. Once your map is created, you can turn it into a quiz to test yourself. The free plan allows 5 creations a week.
