It's caused by so called Vad der Waals forces which are caused in its turn by dipole-single charge, dipole-dipole and so on interactions.

The attraction among water molecules is stronger than the attraction among?
carbon dioxide molecules
What is a attraction between molecules of different substances?
Adhesive forces are the attraction between molecules of different substances. This differs from cohesive forces which is attraction between same substances.
What kind of electrical attraction is responsible for oxygen's ability to dissolve in water?
the only electrical attractions that occur between oxygen molecules and water molecules are relatively weak dipole-induced dipole attractions.
How does boiling water occur?
When water is hot enough, the motion of the individual water molecules is fast enough to overcome the attraction that water molecules have for each other, which results in their escape from the liquid into the gas phase.
What is the type of attraction that holds two water molecules together?
The type of attraction that holds two water molecules together is an electrostatic attraction, known as the hydrogen bond.
What is an attraction between molecules of the same substance and why?
Cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance which binds the particles together.
Would a large body of water molecules have a stronger attraction to fewer molecules?
A large body of water molecules would typically not have a stronger attraction to fewer molecules. It would however attempt to pull smaller molecules toward it.
Compare contrast the terms adhesion and cohesion?
Cohesion- Is An Attraction Between Molecules Of The Same Substance.Adhesion- Is An Attraction Between Molecules Of Different Substances.
The attraction between water molecules is the result of water?
The attraction is: A POLAR COVALENT BOND
What is the intermolecular attraction of covalent bonds?
Small covalent molecules have a weak force of attraction.
SubstanceWhat is the attraction of molecules of different?
cohesion
Why dipole forces of attraction not found in halogen molecules?
because halogen molecules are nonpolar. So, there is no development of permanent polarity.
