They are linked to other water molecules by hydrogen bonds, which are relatively weak though strong enough to confer surface tension. They aren't static, there is fluidity because water molecules constantly bonding and unbonding with other watrer molecules.

How are water molecules packed when they are in a gaseous state?
The molecules move freely and rapidly in all directions.
In which form of substance do the molecules have the strongest attractions to one another?
solid because the molecules are packed closely together
What phase of matter has loosely packed molecules with distinct boundary?
liquid
Are the molecules in water closer together when it is a solid or when it is a liquid?
when the water molecules are of a liquid, they are farther apart and able to move around the space of the liquid as apposed to a solid where the molecules are closely packed together and cannot move much. i hope that answers your question.
Why do water molecules cohere to form a liquid?
Water molecules are already in liquid form.
How are water molecules packed when they are in a gaseous state?
The molecules move freely and rapidly in all directions.
Why are molecules closer when its a solid?
molecules that start closing together turn into solid example: think of water, when molecules are loose the water is liquid but when the molecules are packed together the water turns into ice
When water turns to ice are new molecules formed?
No, when water turns to ice, no new molecules are formed. The molecules in water rearrange themselves into a crystal lattice structure when they freeze, but the individual water molecules remain the same.
What element are present in solid liquid and gas state?
in solids molecules are tightly packed in liquid molecules are not so tightly packed whereas in gas they are free to move
In which form of substance do the molecules have the strongest attractions to one another?
solid because the molecules are packed closely together
Why does sunlight heat water more slowly than land?
Because Solid molecules are closely packed while liquid molecules are loosely packed and has spaces between them which make them contract first before they become hot.
What phase of matter has loosely packed molecules with distinct boundary?
liquid
What phase of matter has loosely packed molecules with a distinct boundary?
liquid
Why is water's molecules loosely packed?
Is watr
What makes water flow a certain way?
Water is classified as a liquid. A liquid has a low density which means that the molecules inside the liquid are not packed together, but rather able to move around pretty freely. This gives water its' ability to flow and move freely.
How do molecules move within a solid liquid and gas?
In a solid the molecules are tightly packed together all touching one another and vibrate; in a liquid the molecules are more loosely packed and more free to move around but they are still touching; in a gas the molecules are free to move where they please
Are molecules in liquids packed loosely or tightly?
Usually a liquid, but some solids, like ice, have the molecules more spread apart, making it less dense than the liquid. If, by "loosely packed," you mean being able to slide past each other, then the liquid is always the answer.
