The four emergent properties of water are primarily the result of c. hydrogen bonding. These properties include cohesion, adhesion, high specific heat, and the ability to dissolve many substances (solvent properties). While covalent bonding plays a role in the structure of water molecules themselves, it is the hydrogen bonds between water molecules that lead to these emergent properties.
