The book presents the fantastic world of water in all its different
forms, from liquid to ice and snow. This book is amply illustrated
with a large number of beautiful pictures with. Water plays a
unique role in chemistry. The special properties of water are due
to hydrogen bonding between the H2O molecules. The hydrogen bond is
of fundamental importance in biological systems since all living
matter has evolved from and exists in an aqueous environment, and
hydrogen bonds are involved in most biological processes. There is
a hundred times more water molecules in our bodies than the sum of
all the other molecules put together.The unique properties of water
are of great importance in our daily life. The origin of these
special properties is often not recognized. Even among chemists and
physicists, the fundamental facts are not always known. In spite of
very active research, there are still many questions to be answered
about the structure of liquid water, for instance.The book differs
from most books on water as it covers basic facts about structure
and properties as well as the influence of these properties in our
daily life. Why does ice float on water? Why is the maximum density
of water at 4 DegreesC? The beauty of snow crystals is amply
illustrated, and many of the pictures are unique.
