Response
For the question "What is the special bond associated with water and its important qualities?"
Brief Explanations

The special bond in water is the hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bonds between water molecules give water important qualities like high surface tension, high specific heat (which helps regulate temperature), and the ability to dissolve many substances (universal solvent property). These bonds form because the slightly positive hydrogen atoms of one water molecule are attracted to the slightly negative oxygen atoms of other water molecules.

Brief Explanations

Water is a polar molecule. In a water molecule ($H_2O$), the oxygen atom is more electronegative than hydrogen atoms. This causes the electrons in the covalent bonds to be pulled more towards oxygen, resulting in the oxygen end of the molecule having a slight negative charge and the hydrogen ends having a slight positive charge. So the blank should be filled with "polar".

Answer:

Hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bonds give water properties like high surface tension, high specific heat, and good solvent ability (due to attraction between slightly +H and slightly -O of different water molecules).
