Because water molecules are polar covalent, one side is slightly negative and the other slightly positive. Thus, they are attracted to one another.

What does attracted to water molecules mean?
Polar Molecules
What do hydrophobic molecules avoid?
Hydrophobic molecules avoid water. Strictly speaking, they do not attract water, and therefore water will avoid them, since it is more attracted to other molecules or to itself.
Molecules along the surface of water are attracted?
Only from the sides and from beneath
What is it called when water sticks to different substances?
Adhesion is when water molecules stick to other molecules
What types of bonds allow different water molecules to be attracted to one another and allows capillary action to occur?
These are hydrogen bonds between water molecules.
What does attracted to water molecules mean?
Polar Molecules
Why oil molecules are not attracted to water molecules in vinegar?
because the vinegar particles are not attracted to the particles of oil.
What is the relationship between oil and water?
The relationship is that they do not mix. The molecules in water are attracted to each other and will not mix with the oil molecules which are also attracted to each other and therefore will not mix with the water molecules
What are microwaves attracted to in foods?
water molecules.
Hydrocarbons and other nonpolar molecules are not attracted to what?
water
Do water molecules attract nonpolar molecules such as oil?
Yes, but they attract polar molecules more strongly."Hydrophobic" molecules is a misnomer. The nonpolar molecules in question are attracted to water molecules (usually more strongly than they're attracted to each other, even), but they get "shoved out of the way" by polar "hydrophilic" molecules which are even more strongly attracted to water molecules.
What happens when sucrose dissolves in 200ml of water?
you just said it === it dissolves. The molecules of sugar are attracted by the water molecules and are separated from other sugar molecules, but they are still sugar molecules.
What do hydrophobic molecules avoid?
Hydrophobic molecules avoid water. Strictly speaking, they do not attract water, and therefore water will avoid them, since it is more attracted to other molecules or to itself.
Molecules in what state are strongly attracted to each other but can change positions?
I think it is water molecules
What property does water have for moving up anarrow tube against the force of gravity?

What weak fleeting bonds are adjacent water molecules attracted to?
hydrogen
