What is the term for when water sticks to water?
This is known as the Cohesive Force.
What makes water so cohesive?
Water has intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
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.
Why are water molecules 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.
What cohesive forces are the strongest in water?
The strongest cohesive forces in water arise from hydrogen bonding, which occurs between the hydrogen atoms of one water molecule and the oxygen atom of another. These bonds create a significant attraction that leads to high surface tension and contributes to water's unique properties, such as its ability to form droplets and its high boiling point. The polarity of water molecules enhances these cohesive forces, making them stronger than in many other liquids.
Is water cohesive or adhesive?
Water is both cohesive and adhesive. Cohesion refers to water molecules sticking to each other, creating surface tension. Adhesion refers to water molecules sticking to other substances, such as glass or plant tissues.
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.
What makes water so cohesive?
Water has intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
Why do droplets of water form shperical shapes?
This is due to water's cohesive property.
How do water drops hold on to the penny?
Water molecules stick together because of the electrical charges in the water create a bond.
Can you give some sentences using the word cohesive?
Water molecules are both cohesive and adhesive: they can stick together or stick to other surfaces.
What type of bond joins neighbooring water molecules?
Cohesive bond
What makes water highly cohesive?

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.
