What is about a material that makes it more or less absorbent?
In: Chemistry
There are 6 characteristics of water that make life on this planet possible. Would recommend checking them. Here are two fascinating ones (one may help you answer your question)
1. Water actually becomes less dense when it freezes. Which is odd because colder means the molecules are closer together (hence more dense). If this was the case, all the ice would sink to the bottom of the ocean
2. water is extremely polar (the reason some things absorb water and other don’t) water carried a very interactive charge which promotes interaction. We rarely see a molecule of that size with that amount of polarity
Edit: 3rd is the cohesion of water, the way it sticks together which ties into point 2. See some others mentioning that
