∙ 12y agoHydrogen bonds form between the hydrogen of one water molecule and the oxygen of the neighbouring water molecule. In ice, all the molecules of water are held in their places by a network of hydrogen bonds. In water, only some molecules at any given time will be attached, in a constantly changing process.
The hydrogen bonds have to be broken in order for ice to melt, and more for water to become steam, and because this takes a lot of energy we see a higher than expected melting and boiling point. Capillary action is caused by the water molecules pulling one another along via the hydrogen bonds. Surface tension is caused by the water molecules on the surface holding onto one another in a network, giving enough support for a small creature to walk on the surface.

A consequence of the surface tension of water is?
The surface tension of water is responsible for the cohesive properties it exhibits. For example, capillary action is a consequence of surface tension.
What property of water gives rise to capillary action?
Cohesion force among the molecules of water allows for capillary action in plants.
Do the waves of a pebble in water have a name?
Yes they do!A capillary wave is a wave traveling along the phase boundary of a fluid, whose dynamics are dominated by the effects of surface tension.
What is the difference between buoyancy and water surface tension?
Buoyancy is the force exerted by the weight of water displaced by an object that is at least partially submerged in the water. Surface tension a force of attraction exerted between water molecules at the waters surface interface. Something can not become submerged in the water until this surface tension is broken. Surface tension is a very weak force and can be overcome physically or by changing the chemistry at the surface (adding a wetting agent).
Surface tension is directly proportional to?
Surface Tension Is Directly Proportional To Intermolecular Forces, Hydrogen Bonding & Viscocity
What is the relation between surface tension and acceleration?
i think that acceleration is directly proportional to surface tension.....
A consequence of the surface tension of water is what?
capillary action is a common consequence of surface tension.
What is the relationship between density and surface tension?
as we know the relation between surface tension and temperature is inverse, and that of temperature and density also has inverse proportion, then it is clear that the '''surface tension is directly proportion to the density'''.
A consequence of the surface tension of water is?
The surface tension of water is responsible for the cohesive properties it exhibits. For example, capillary action is a consequence of surface tension.
What is the difference between capillary action and surface tension?
surface tension is a product of cohesive forces (eg. water to water forces in a bubble) whereas capillary actionis a product of adhesive forces (eg. water climbing up a thin glass tube)
What creates surface tension and capillary actions?
water cycles
Why does surface tension and capillary action occur in water?
because of the gravity
When you dissolve something in water does that change its capillary action or surface tension?
yes
What are the eight properties of water?
Cohension, adhension, surface tension an capillary action. There is four of them.
Which property of water results in a meniscus?
Adhesion due to the polarity of the water molecule.
What property of water gives rise to capillary action?
Cohesion force among the molecules of water allows for capillary action in plants.
What is capilliarity?
The tendency of a liquid in a capillary tube or absorbent material to rise or fall as a result of surface tension.
