Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate answer:“Oil is ____ than water as well as ____, with evidence being that oil sits on top of water as well as seperates from water.”
A
Cooler; polar
B
Non-polar, less dense
C
Less dense; non-polar
D
Cohesive; polar
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cohesion and adhesion are two water properties that describe how water molecules interact with each other. and how water molecules interact with other things like leaves or even you. Cohesion means that water likes to stick to itself. and adhesion means that water likes to stick to other things.

Detailed explanation-2: -This dome-like shape forms due to the water molecules’ cohesive properties, or their tendency to stick to one another. Cohesion refers to the attraction of molecules for other molecules of the same kind, and water molecules have strong cohesive forces thanks to their ability to form hydrogen bonds with one another.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The four unique properties of water that make it unique are high specific heat, high polarity, adhesion cohesion, and a lower density as a solid. Water having a high specific heat allows it to absorb heat energy without a subsequent change in temperature.

Detailed explanation-4: -What are the 5 properties of water? The properties of water include cohesion, adhesion, capillary action, surface tension, the ability to dissolve many substances, and high specific heat.
