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
they form hydrogen bonds. Water molecules are so called 'dipoles', meaning that they are partially charged with the oxygen having a negative partial charge and the hydrogen a positive one. so if two water molecules come together, the hydrogens of one will orient themselves towards the oxygen of the next and so forth. This is the cohesive force that causes them to stick together.
The main attractive force between water molecules is due to water's dipole moment. A water molecule has a central oxygen atom with w hydrogen atoms on one side and two unshared pair of electrons on the other side. Oxygen is more electronegativethan the hydrogens, so the electrons that they share are not shared equally -- the oxygen has them more of the time. This make the oxygen side of the molecule take on a slightly negative charge, while the hydrogen end takes on a slightly positive charge. Since opposites attract, the (-) and (+) ends attract each other. This is also the reason why water is such a good solvent!
Hydrogen Bonding and simply positive/negative attractive forces. The negative Oxygen atom of one water molecule is attracted to a positive Hydrogen atom of another water molecule.
Water is a polar molecule with the hydrogen carrying a very slight positive charge and oxygen a slight negative charge. This results in inter-molecular attraction and hydrogen bonding.
what causes water molecules to be attracteed to one another
hydrogen
adhesion, the water molecules are attracted and therefore "climb" the xylem walls
Adhesion. Adhesion causes polar water molecules to adhere to the surface of a material that is polar.
Hydrophilic
The ability of water molecules to stick to one another is due to cohesion. Cohesion is what gives rise to properties such as surface tension.
what causes water molecules to be attracteed to one another
ionic
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. :)
Because water molecules are polar covalent, one side is slightly negative and the other slightly positive. Thus, they are attracted to one another.
Water molecules are polar This causes them to be attracted to the cell surface, which is also polar in nature
It is called Cohesion. The process in which water molecules tend to become attracted to one another.
No. Water does consist of molecles (H2O) but these are attracted to one another by hydrogen bonds
ionic
Polar Molecules
These are hydrogen bonds between water molecules.
When water is attracted to other water molecules it is called cohesion. When water is attracted to other substances it is called adhesion.
because the vinegar particles are not attracted to the particles of oil.
