The force of gravity; not the attraction of the Earth for all matter on it, but the same force that attracts all matter to all other matter.

What causes the attraction between water molecules causes?
cohesion is the answer
What causes of the water to evaporate?
The intermolecular forces between water molecules are lowered at the water surface and some molecules escape in the atmosphere. Evaporation is increased by temperature.
How water acts as a lubricant and transport facilitator?
The polarity of the water molecule, which causes hydrogen bonds to form between the water molecules, is the characteristic that enables it to act as a lubricant.
What causes water molecule to be attracted to one on another?
what causes water molecules to be attracteed to one another
What causes volume contraction between ethanol and water?
Hydrogen bonds are formed between water and ethanol molecules, the solution become more "packed"; the density increase and the volume decrease.
In steam are the forces between molecules the same as the forces between the molecules in water?
No, they are not. The forces between molecules in steam are not as strong as those present in liquid water.
Why can a carefully placed needle float on water even though it is more dense then the water?
Because of the surface tension: the attracting force between the water molecules, which effectively causes a "skin" on the top of the water. Drop a few drops of soap in the water and the needle will sink, because the soap weakens the bond between the water's molecules.
What is between the molecules of liquid water?
Water molecules are linked by hydrogen bonds.
How does the bonding work between water molecules?
heat transfers to the water molecules
What are the weak chemical attraction between water molecules?
Water molecules form hydrogen bonds to other water molecules.
Cohesion and adhesion are?
Information used from Prentice Hall Biology book from the year 2006. Cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same substance. Due to hydrogen bonding water is very cohesive. Water's cohesion causes molecules on the surface of the water to be drawn inward causing "surface tension". This property allows insects to walk on water. Adhesion is the attraction between molecules of different substances. Adhesion causes water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity for example the forces that draw water out of the roots of the plants and up into its stems and leaves, this is called capillarity.
What name is given to the bond between water molecules?
The bond between water molecules is called the hydrogen bond.
