Detailed explanation-1: -In the case of water, hydrogen bonds form between neighboring hydrogen and oxygen atoms of adjacent water molecules. The attraction between individual water molecules creates a bond known as a hydrogen bond.
Detailed explanation-2: -More precisely, the positive and negative charges of the hydrogen and oxygen atoms that make up water molecules makes them attracted to each other.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cohesion holds hydrogen bonds together to create surface tension on water. Since water is attracted to other molecules, adhesive forces pull the water toward other molecules.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cohesive Properties: Cohesion is the ability of like molecules to stick together. Water is strongly cohesive (it will form hydrogen bonds)
Detailed explanation-5: -Hydrogen Bonding. Hydrogen bonding is a special type of dipole-dipole attraction between molecules, not a covalent bond to a hydrogen atom. It results from the attractive force between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom such as a N, O, or F atom and another very electronegative atom.
