What are water molecules attracted to?
Because water molecules are polar covalent, one side is slightly negative and the other slightly positive. Thus, they are attracted to one another.
What are The forces or bonds that enable one molecule to be attracted to another molecule are called?
different bonds and forces enable molecules to be attracted to each other they include ionic bond covalent bond hydrogen bond vander waal's forces non covalent bonds
What word is used for the curved upper surface of a liquid in a tube?
It is called a MENISCUS caused by capillary action betweem the molecules of the liquid and the molecules of the container, and resulting from surface tension within the liquid. In addition: Adhesion: Making one material adhere to another.
Does decomposition have chemical reactions with different molecules trade position?
A decomposition reaction does not involve molecules trading positions. When two different molecules or pairs of molecules change position with one another, the chemical reaction is known as an exchange reaction.
Why do gas molecules have little attraction for one another?
Gas molecules are attracted to each other by gravitic force, just like every other particle with mass. The gas molecules are kept from crashing into each by the energy that results in Brownian motion . . . that is, molecules move about very quickly and sort of like a wasp or hornet's motion.
What is the phenomenon that occurs when individual molecules are strongly attracted to one another?
Cohesion
What kind of bond causes water molecules to be be attracted to one another?
ionic
What are water molecules attracted to?

What means by cohesiveness of water molecules?
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.
What causes water molecule to be attracted to one on another?

Why mercury does not rise in capillary tubes?
A liquid has two properties (amongst many) called cohesion and adhesion. Cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules/atoms of the liquid itself. Adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules/atoms of the liquid and other substances. Therefore, if the molecules' attraction for another substance is greater than the attraction between the molecules, the molecules will preferentially interact with the other substance. When you have a substance that is more attracted to the walls of a capillary tube than itself (i.e. adhesion > cohesion), the substance will exhibit capillary action and form a concave meniscus. Mercury, however, has a stronger cohesive force between its atoms than adhesive force to the walls of a capillary tube, and therefore will not preferentially interact with the tube, thus not demonstrating capillary action and forming a convex meniscus. Curved surfaces have a higher pressure (called LaPlace pressure) on the concave side of the curve than on the convex side. Because mercury has a convex meniscus it has a lower LaPlace pressure in the capillary than the surrrounding liquid. It will therefore show a capillary drop rather than the more common capillary rise seen with materials that have a concave meniscus like water.
What caues surface water molecules to pull toeher?
It is called Cohesion. The process in which water molecules tend to become attracted to one another.
Does water consist of molecules attracted to each other by covalent bonds?
No. Water does consist of molecles (H2O) but these are attracted to one another by hydrogen bonds
What are The forces or bonds that enable one molecule to be attracted to another molecule are called?
different bonds and forces enable molecules to be attracted to each other they include ionic bond covalent bond hydrogen bond vander waal's forces non covalent bonds
2 How can you explain Cohesion and adhesion in term of water molecules?
Water has both cohesive and adhesive forces. They are similar.The cohesive of water describes how the molecules of water are attracted to one another. We observe the cohesive forces of water when we see a drop of water sitting on a surface. The water does not spread because the molecules are attracted to one another. Surface tension of water is due to its cohesive properties.The cohesive forces of water are due to hydrogen bonding between molecules.Adhesive properties of water are how the molecules are attracted to other substances. We observe the adhesive forces of water when we see the edge of water in a glass is attracted up on the sides of the glass. This is most apparent when the diameter of the glass vessel is less than a centimetre. It is called a meniscus. Trees use this adhesive property of water to help suck water up from the ground. If the diameter of the glass is small enough, as in a glass capillary, the water will rise up the tube by itself due to adhesive forces.
Is there another name for dermal puncture?
capillary blood collection
What is the name the property of water in which it sticks to other substances?
The attraction between water molecules and another substance is called adhesion. An example of this phenomenon is the absorption of water by a towel. Water molecules are also attracted to each other by cohesion. Adhesion and cohesion of water are both caused by the polarity of water molecules. Molecules are said to be polar if they have opposite electrical charges at different ends of the molecule. Nonpolar molecules have none or evenly distributed charges (oil is an example of a nonpolar substance). Since opposite charges attract, water is attracted to other polar (or ionic) substances.
