Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A molecule of water [tex](H_{2}O)[/tex] has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Since oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen so, it will attract the electrons from hydrogen atom towards itself.
As a result, a partial positive charge will develop on hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge will develop on oxygen atom. Therefore, a molecule of water will become polar in nature.
Being polar in nature, water is able to dissolve many polar molecules. Thus, acts as a universal solvent.
Whereas water is able to absorb heat and changes into vapor state. Whereas it is also able to release energy and thus changes into ice.
[tex]soild (ice) \rightleftharpoons liquid \rightleftharpoons gas (vapor)[/tex]
Hence, we can conclude that all of the above are properties of water.
