what causes water molecules to be attracteed to one another
Adehesion
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. :)

When water is attracted to other water molecules it is called cohesion. When water is attracted to other substances it is called adhesion.
The property name is 'cohesion.' Cohesion is the attraction between molecules of any fluid. It also exists in many other liquids. A somewhat unrelated topic, 'adhesion' is water's tendency to stick with other molecules. That's why water droplets tend to 'slide off' a window.
The positive calcium ions in calcium chloride are attracted to the negative oxygen atom in the water molecule, while the negative chloride ions are attracted to the positive hydrogen atoms in the water molecule.
Ion-dipole attraction dictates that the negative pole of a water molecule will be attracted to the sodium cation and the positive pole of a water molecule will be attracted to the chloride anion.
In chemistry and physics, cohesion refers to the sticking together of alike molecules, such as water molecule being attracted to another water molecule. Cohesion also causes water molecules to form drops.Together with adhesion It helps to explain the occurrence of surface tension and capillary action.In botany, cohesion pertains to the fusion of plant parts, such as in syncarpy.
false
Since water is a slightly polar molecule (the hydrogen end being slightly positive and the oxygen ends being slightly negative) the positively charged sodium ion (Na+) will be attracted to the oxygen end of the water molecule.
The oxygen end of the water molecule is attracted to the Na+ ion. This attraction occurs due to the partial negative charge on the oxygen atom of the water molecule and the positive charge on the sodium ion.
