hydrogen and oxygen form convalent polar bondings, this means that they share valence electrons and still are electrically charged (not as strongly as ionic bonds) An oxygen atom has six valence electrons and bonds with hydrogen atoms that have one valence electron by sharing it with the oxygen atom. in that way all atoms are now stable. but the hydrogen atoms attach to one side of the oxygen atom making a stronger pull that makes that side electrically charde while the other side is positively charged. when many molecules of water are present they stick to each other form their opposite charged sides (positive+negative) hence why they attract each other

What force causes water drops to cling to one another?

Surface tension is the force that causes water drops to cling to one another. Water molecules on the surface of a drop are attracted to each other, creating a thin layer of water that holds the drops together.


Why oil molecules are not attracted to water molecules in vinegar?

Oil molecules are nonpolar and hydrophobic, meaning they do not have an affinity for water molecules which are polar. This difference in polarity causes oil and water to be immiscible, leading to the separation between the two substances in vinegar.


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.


Does water consist of molecules attracted to each other by covalent bonds?

No. Water does consist of molecles (H2O) but these are attracted to one another by hydrogen bonds


What caues surface water molecules to pull toeher?

It is called Cohesion. The process in which water molecules tend to become attracted to one another.


What happens when many water molecules come into contact with one another Explain?

When many water molecules come into contact with one another, they are attracted to each other due to hydrogen bonding. This attraction causes the water molecules to stick together and form cohesive forces, which results in surface tension and the ability of water to stick to surfaces.

What are water molecules attracted to?

Water molecules are attracted to other water molecules due to hydrogen bonding, as well as to other polar molecules and ions due to their polarity. This attraction is essential for many biological processes and properties of water, such as surface tension and capillary action.


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 type of bond attracts one water molecule to another?

When water molecules are attracted to other water molecules, this is called COHESION. This is because the oxygen end of water has a negative charge and the hydrogen end has a positive charge. The hydrogens of one water molecule are attracted to the oxygen from the other water molecules. This is what causes Cohesion. :)
