It is called Hydrogen bonding. It is the strongest intramolecular bond type that can be formed between molecules. It usually occurs between a Hydrogen atom in a molecule and a very electronegative atom (oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine) with a free lone pair of atoms available.
Therefore, in water the H and O form hydrogen bonds.
The dashed line below represents an example of the Hydrogen bond.

Hydrogen bonding between the lone pair on the Oxygen and the very positive Hydrogen atoms.
If the intermolecular forces are great enough they can hold the molecules together as a liquid. If they are even stronger they will hold the molecules together as a solid. Water has nearly the same mass as methane and ammonia molecules, but the greater molecular forces between water molecules causes the water to be liquid at room temperature, while ammonia and methane, with weaker intermolecular forces, are gases at room temperature.
molecules
cohesion
This is the continuous Brownian movement of water molecules.
Hydrogen bonding between the lone pair on the Oxygen and the very positive Hydrogen atoms.
Heating water molecules causes them to move faster and faster. Water when cool is in a way (sticky). When heated the water molecules are moving far too quickly stick together. The heated water molecules become less dense and may stick to air molecules. Floating into and combining with the atmosphere.
Water molecules bunch together in the state of a solid.
Water molecules are closest together in the liquid phase.
surface tension , water molecules trying to stick together will form the easiest shape a sphere
Yes alkaline ionized water is one of the best substances you can put into your body. The process of ionizing water changes the way water molecules cluster, typically water has 15 to 25 molecules per cluster, when passed through a water ionizer the clusters usually contain 6 to 10 molecules. This enables your body to absorb more water.

adhesion - when different molecules stick together (water to clothes) cohesion - when molecules of the same type stick together (water to water)
cohesion is the answer
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 molecules are moving closer together in the air it is called
Amphipathic molecules are by definition those that contain both hydrophobic (water hating) and hydrophilic (water loving) regions. The area of the molecule that likes water tends to stay in the aqueous region whereas the region of the molecules that hates water tends to cluster with other hydrophobic regions. This untimately results in the hydrophobic regions packing together and forming a region that is impervious to water molecules. Such a structure is called a micelle
