What is responsible for the attraction between water molecules?

Water molecules are attracted to each other by 'cohesive force'. It is the force that holds a droplet of water together in a raindrop, or in a semi-spherical shape if dripped onto glass.
Water is also affected by ' adhesive force' which causes the droplet on glass to adhere (stick ) to the glass as well. In a thin glass tube the adhesive force makes the water move upwards.

Why do sucrose molecules associate with water?
Due to Hydrogen bonding(Intermolecular attraction between Sucrose and water molecules)
Is a hydrogen bond the strongest that formed between molecules?
Actually it is a weak bond like the attraction between water molecules.
Whats the difference between adhesion and cohesion?
Adhesion is the attraction between two molecules of different substances.cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same substances.
What allows water molecules to attract other water molecules?
Dipole-Dipole Forces of attraction
What happen to the ices molecules during this phase change?
The ice (solid) become water (liquid); the distances between molecules are decreased during the change of phase, also the attraction forces.
In water can you say the attraction between H2 and Ois Adhesion and H2O and H2O is Cohesion?
No, in water, the attraction between H2 and O is a covalent bond that forms the water molecule. Adhesion refers to the attraction between different molecules, while cohesion refers to the attraction between the same molecules. In water, the attraction between H2O molecules is cohesion, and the attraction between water molecules and other substances is adhesion.
The attraction between water molecules is the result of water?
The attraction is: A POLAR COVALENT BOND
What are the weak chemical attraction between water molecules?
Water molecules form hydrogen bonds to other water molecules.
What is the cause of the attraction between molecules of water?
Polar water molecules are associated by hydrogen bonds.
What kind of electrical attraction is responsible for oxygen's ability to dissolve in water?
the only electrical attractions that occur between oxygen molecules and water molecules are relatively weak dipole-induced dipole attractions.
How does the strength of the attraction between water molecules and sodium and chloride ions compare with the strength of the attraction between the sodium ions and chloride ions?
Attraction between water molecules and sodium and chloride ions OSS less than the attraction between sodium ions and chloride ions.
What causes the attraction between water molecules causes?
cohesion is the answer
Why do sucrose molecules associate with water?
Due to Hydrogen bonding(Intermolecular attraction between Sucrose and water molecules)
Which property allows water to stick to glass?
This is called adherence. It is the force of attraction between the water molecules and the glass molecules.
Is a hydrogen bond the strongest that formed between molecules?
Actually it is a weak bond like the attraction between water molecules.
What force of attraction is responsible for the formation of a thin film on the surface of water?
The attraction that causes water and other liquids to form drops and thin films is cohesion. The attraction between oppositely charges ions results in the formation of an ionic bond.
Whats the difference between adhesion and cohesion?
Adhesion is the attraction between two molecules of different substances.cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same substances.
