Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Describe COHESION.
A
Water molecules attracted to other substances.
B
Water molecules climbing upwards against the force of gravity.
C
Water molecules dissolving many substances because of its polarity.
D
Water molecules attracted to other water molecules.
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: -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: -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-4: -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-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.
