• Lone pairBroader topic: Two oxygen lone pairs help make water bent and polar.

• Aqueous solutionBroader topic: Its molecular polarity makes it an effective solvent for many ionic and polar substances.

• Latent heat of vaporizationBroader topic: Water's high vaporization energy strongly affects its cooling and climate roles.

• Newtonian fluidBroader topic: Liquid water is approximately Newtonian under many everyday flow conditions.
