property description importance to life
polarity hydrogen and oxygen within water molecules form a chemical bond that involves sharing of electron pairs between atoms. substances can dissolve or separate in water.
attraction positively charged hydrogen atoms of water are attracted to negatively charged oxygen atoms of other water molecules ice is less dense than liquid water.
gas state lots of heat is needed to increase the temperature of water. allows water molecules to escape into the air as gas.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify property - Attraction

The description given for attraction is about hydrogen - bonding between water molecules. The importance of this property to life is that ice being less dense than liquid water allows aquatic life to survive in cold conditions as ice floats on water, insulating the water below.

Step2: Identify property - Gas State

The description of the gas state property is about the high heat - capacity of water. The importance to life is that it helps in regulating temperature in living organisms and in the environment, and also in processes like evaporation from plants (transpiration).

Answer:

Property	Description	Importance to Life
Attraction	Positively charged hydrogen atoms of water are attracted to negatively charged oxygen atoms of other water molecules	Ice is less dense than liquid water, allowing aquatic life to survive in cold conditions as ice floats and insulates water below.
Gas State	Lots of heat is needed to increase the temperature of water.	Helps in regulating temperature in living organisms and environment, and in processes like transpiration.
