So do I. Read on and decide if we are right. It is clear that life on Earth depends on the unusual structure and anomalous nature of liquid water . Organisms consist mostly of liquid water. This water performs many functions and it can never be considered simply as an inert diluent. In spite of much work, many of the properties of water are puzzling.
Water molecules form an infinite hydrogen-bonded network with localized and structured clustering.
Small clusters of four water molecules may come together to form water bicyclo-octamers. Such equilibria are balanced due to the existence of two minima in the potential energy diagram showing the approach of the water tetramers. The same resultant clustering can be brought about by a mixture of water cyclic pentamers and tricyclo-decamers . As all three of these small clusters are relatively stable, it is likely that their interaction will produce these larger icosahedral clusters. Such clusters can dynamically form a continuous network of both open, low density, and condensed structures.
