What contributes to water's unique properties as a universal solvent, temperature moderator, and cohesive behavior? Hydrogen is a special element that does not have neutrons. The oxygen atoms of water molecules attract electrons more than hydrogen atoms. The properties are related to the crystalline structure of liquid water. The properties are related to the high electronegativity of hydrogen atoms. i think is B

The oxygen atoms of water molecules attract electrons more than hydrogen atoms.

Explanation:

The uniqueness of water as a chemical substance is attriuted to its unique properties. These properties include being a universal solvent, having a high specific heat (temperature moderator), cohesive and adhesive nature etc.

This wonderful properties of water is due to its POLAR nature, which is when a substance has both positively and negatively charged parts to it. This is possible because the oxygen atoms (O) of water molecules attract electrons more than hydrogen atoms (H).

This POLARITY of water molecule is responsible for the HYDROGEN BONDING between water molecules and hence, contributes to the properties of water mentioned in the question (universal solvent, temperature moderator, and cohesive behavior)
