|
|
cohesion
|
|
|
adhesion
|
|
|
high specific heat
|
|
|
high heat of fusion

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Cohesive forces between molecules cause the surface of a liquid to contract to the smallest possible surface area. This general effect is called surface tension.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hydrogen bonds cause water to be exceptionally attracted to each other. Therefore, water is very cohesive.
