PROPERTIES OF WATER

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Water’s attraction to other water molecules
A
adhesion
B
capillary action
C
cohesion
D
surface tension
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The property of cohesion describes the ability of water molecules to be attracted to other water molecules, which allows water to be a “sticky” liquid. Hydrogen bonds are attractions of electrostatic force caused by the difference in charge between slightly positive hydrogen ions and other, slightly negative ions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cohesion of water 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: -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-4: -Hydrogen bonds cause water to be exceptionally attracted to each other. Therefore, water is very cohesive.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cohesion, also known as cohesive attraction or cohesive force, is the action or property of molecules adhering to one another due to mutual attraction. The force of attraction between two comparable substances or molecules is known as the cohesion force.
