What is the term for the cohesion of water molecules?
The term for the cohesion of water molecules is surface tension.
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 water form a convex surface if you slightly over fill the glass?
Cohesion.
When molecules stick together is called?
This phenomenon is called cohesion.
What property of water allows water molecules to stick together?
The property is cohesion. Cohesion among water molecules at the water's surface produces surface tension.
How does adhesion and cohesion results to the formation of a meniscus?
if adhesion>cohesion, concave meniscus from out if ahesion<cohesion, convex if adhesion=cohesion, flat surface
Why does water pool or puddle on a flat surface instead of spreading out evenly?
surface tension is the result of cohesion which holds liquids together surface tension is the result of cohesion which holds liquids together surface tension is the result of cohesion which holds liquids together
What is the term for the cohesion of water molecules?
The term for the cohesion of water molecules is surface tension.
Does cohesion create surface tension in water?
Cohesion of water molecules occurs through the formation of hydrogen bonds between molecules

Cohesion and Surface Tension
Which explains the surface tension of water?
cohesion
What do cohesion and surface tension have in common with reference to water?
Between water molecules a big cohesion force exist; this is the cause of the high surface tension of water.

Which best explain the surface tension of water?
cohesion
The cohesion of water molecules is responsible for surface?
