The hydrogen bonds within H2O are very strong and the surface tension that allows for water droplets to form comes from the strong cohesion of water molecules to other water molecules. The high specific heat capacity is also due to the strength of the hydrogen bonds.

What is about water molecules that helps explain why the water drops were difficult to split apart but easy to join together?

Water molecules have strong cohesive forces due to hydrogen bonding, which makes it difficult to separate the water drops. When the drops join together, these cohesive forces pull the molecules back together easily due to surface tension, helping the drops recombine effortlessly.

Why can many drops of water be put on the surface of a penny without spilling over the sides?

The surface tension of water allows many drops to sit on a penny without spilling over the sides. The cohesive forces between water molecules create a strong bond, which enables the water to form a dome-like shape on the penny. This dome shape prevents the water from overflowing.

In what way does cohesion play a part in how many drops of water can be dropped onto the head side of a penny?

Cohesion is the attraction between water molecules that allows them to stick together. This cohesion enables the water drops to pile up on top of each other on the head side of a penny without spilling over the edge. The surface tension created by cohesion allows the drops to form a dome shape on the penny before spilling.
