ABSTRACT

The theoretical model of water molecule is created which gives an opportunity to understand what happen with translational, rotational and spin degrees of freedom when molecule makes transitions from gas into liquid phase and vice versa. Translational degrees of freedom are considered classically but rotational and spin degrees of freedom are treated according to quantum-mechanical rules. The model is based on the mathematical techniques of geometric algebras over the field of real numbers. Unusual properties of water molecules with conjoint degrees of freedom compared to usual or free molecules are predicted and denoted as latent in future. The latent molecules have not the full rotational spectrum but possess three isolated rotational levels only. The latent molecules are capable of moving along straight lines at finite distances in 3D-space. The latent molecules conserve all their degrees of freedom during the transition from gas into liquid phase.
