What makes water highly cohesive?
The slightly negative charge on the oxygen atom of one water molecule forms a weak electrostatic attraction between the slightly positive charge on a hydrogen atom of another water molecule. This is called a hydrogen bond. The hydrogen bonding between the water molecules is why water is highly cohesive.
How does adding soap to water affect adhesion?
Soap is a non-polar molecule that breaks weak hydrogen bonds between water molecules, so it makes the water less cohesive.
What is the term for when water sticks to water?
This is known as the Cohesive Force.
Why is water extremely cohesive?
Because of hydrogen bonding.
Would distilled water be more cohesive than salt water?
No se
Is clay cohesive?
Yes the particles of clay stick together when not suspended in water- this is what makes it cohesive, however when in water the clay particles separate and so can be held in suspension with almost nul energy!
What makes water both adhesive and cohesive?
Surface tension does.
Is water cohesive or adhesive?
Cohesive
What makes water wet?
Water is a wetting liquid but Mercury is non wetting so not the all liquid are wetting it depends upon Adhesive and cohesive forces , the liquids having strong adhesive force than cohesive become absorbed on a solid surface and that surface becomes wet but the liquids having strong cohesive force can not absorbed on a solid surface so material remains dry and such liquids are non wetting liquids as Mercury, so water is wetting liquid due to its strong adhesive force.
Is the interaction between wax paper and water cohesive or adhesive?
This is a cohesive interaction.

What does a cohesive sentence mean?
it flows and makes sense
What force enables the stem to absorb water?
Adhesion and Cohesion or cohesive attraction or cohesive force
Can you make a sentence with the word cohesive?
Water is cohesive, allowing it to travel up plant stems.
What is the term for when water sticks to water?
This is known as the Cohesive Force.
If water spreads out on a glass plate is this an example or cohesive or adhesive force?
Both, the water molecules are cohesive to each other, and the outer water molecules are adhesive to the table surface.
