The Attribute of Water

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Chemical Physics ((CHEMICAL,volume 113))

Abstract

Water and ice perform differently from other usual substance when subject to tiny perturbation but most of its mysteries remain unresolved up to date despite extensive dedications made by generations. The aim of this volume is to show that alternative ways of thinking and approaching could be efficient to making substantial and systematic progress towards consistent understanding of the performance of water and ice and quantitative information on the hydrogen bond (O:H–O) bond relaxation and polarization dynamics under various perturbations, as well as their consequences on the detestable and correlated properties of water and ice.

• Water and ice respond to stimuli or perturbations unexpectedly with derivatives of numerous anomalies.

• One phenomenon is often associated with multiple debating theories but one principle should reconcile all observations.

• Clarification, correlation, formulation, and quantification of hydrogen bond (O:H–O) relaxation and polarization dynamics and its consequence on detectable properties should be the focus tracking forward.

• Focusing on the statistical mean of all the correlated parameters simultaneously is more reliably revealing than on the instantaneous accuracy of a parameter at a given time for the strongly correlated and fluctuating system.
