SDO

Systemic Diagram (SDO) represents systemic unknownRelations between physical properties of water

By studying the relations (1 2), and (A c)We can change (SDO) to (SD1) by adding these relations

(I)Formation of water molecules by covalent bonding

(V)Abnormality In physical properties

(III) Polar solvent

(IV) Hydrogen bonding

(II) Polarity of water molecule
