Water is polar, meaning the Hydrogen and Oxygen molecules in the water have an uneven distribution of electrons. This causes an attraction between the water molecules poles, like magnets, which draws them together. The water Hydrogen Bond also affects cohesiveness because each oxygen molecule in water has 2 lone pairs of electrons which can each form a Hydrogen bond with the hydrogen from another water molecule
What else can I help you with?
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.
Is there any water in the Neptune planet?
no, because it has no gravity and the temperature is extremly cold
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?
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.
