Water dissolves polar molecules
|
Detailed explanation-1: -It turns out that this surface tension is the result of the tendency of water molecules to attract one another.
Detailed explanation-2: -Surface tension in water owes to the fact that water molecules attract one another, as each molecule forms a bond with the ones in its vicinity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hydrogen bonds cause water to be exceptionally attracted to each other. Therefore, water is very cohesive.
Detailed explanation-4: -Water has cohesive and adhesive properties. Cohesive forces are responsible for surface tension, the tendency of a liquid’s surface to resist rupture when placed under tension or stress. Water also has adhesive properties that allow it to stick to substances other than itself.
