The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the properties of water, we will analyze the options provided and determine the correct characteristics of water. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Surface Tension**: - Water has a high surface tension due to strong hydrogen bonds between water molecules. These cohesive forces pull the molecules at the surface inward, creating a "skin" effect. 2. **Understanding Thermal Conductivity**: - Water is known for its relatively high thermal conductivity. This means it can transfer heat effectively. The movement of water molecules increases with temperature, allowing for efficient heat transfer. 3. **Evaluating the Options**: - Option A: High surface tension and low thermal conductivity. (Incorrect) - Option B: Low surface tension and low thermal conductivity. (Incorrect) - Option C: High surface tension and high thermal conductivity. (Correct) - Option D: High surface tension and low thermal conductivity. (Incorrect) 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Option C: High surface tension and high thermal conductivity**.
