∙ 11y agoWater molecules are polar, which means they have and end which is positive and one which is negative (a bit like magnets). If one molecule of water gets near another, the opposite charges will attract forming hydrogen bonds. This happens multiple times to form a group of bonded water molecules forming a droplet.

Why do liquids have a tendency to acquire minimum surface area?
The molecules in a liquid (such as water) are attracted to each other by electrostatic force. As a result, they stick together, not to the extent that a solid does, but to some extent, and this causes them to contract into compact shapes when possible.
What is Tendency of water molecules to stick together is?
...
When molecules stick together is called?
This phenomenon is called cohesion.
What is it called when water sticks to other things?
Water molecules form weak hydrogen bonds with each other when close, which causes them to stick together. This is called cohesion. It is one of three highly unique properties of water, the other two being adhesion, which is water's ability to stick to other materials, and surface tension, which causes the water molecules to act almost like an elastic sheet, like when water is on the lip of a glass, but doesn't spill.
The tendency of molecules of the same kind to stick together is called?
This depends. If the molecules are of different kinds (ie: Water and Glass), then it is called adhesion. If they are of the same kind, it is called cohesion.The tendency of molecules of the same kind to stick to one another is known as cohesion. This is what keeps the molecules together a good example being in water.
Why does a gas change into a liquid when its cold?
i gas changes into a liquid when it is cold because the gas will now be losing heat and this causes the molecules in the gas to form bonds, bringing them closer to together and resulting in a liquid.
How does a single amino acid substitution cause hemoglobin molecules to stick together?
It is when the valines link up and causes the globins to stick

What do atoms form when they stick together?
molecules
What is it called when water molecules sticks together?
adhesion - when different molecules stick together (water to clothes) cohesion - when molecules of the same type stick together (water to water)
What is the tendency of water molecules to stick together?
cohesion

...
If water were non polar molecule how would its properties be different?
A nonpolar liquid cannot dissolve polar molecules.
What causes a water drop to form a sphere as it falls?
surface tension , water molecules trying to stick together will form the easiest shape a sphere
What is the ability of molecules of different kinds of matter to stick together?
Molecules stick together by various types of chemical bonding, typically covalent or coordinate covalent bonds.
What happens to the water molecules as they start to heat up?
Heating water molecules causes them to move faster and faster. Water when cool is in a way (sticky). When heated the water molecules are moving far too quickly stick together. The heated water molecules become less dense and may stick to air molecules. Floating into and combining with the atmosphere.
What is the attraction that causes water molecules to stick togeather called?
cohesion
