How does the hydrogen bonding between water molecules affect the properties of water?

It enables water molecules to stick to each other and to many other things.


How does adhesion and cohesion affect each other?

Adhesion is where water molecules stick to other things, and cohesion is where the water molecules stick to each other. The combination of this makes it so that together, they can climb up things like roots of a tree to give the tree water.


Why does water stick to itself?

Because of hydrogen bonds which help water molecules stick to each other. hope it helped i just learned it today


What makes bubbles stick to something?

Water is made up of lots of tiny molecules. The molecules are attracted to each other and stick together. The molecules on the very top of the water stick together very closely to make a force called surface tensionI hope that helps :D


What special abilities do water molecules have because they are polar?

Water molecules have special abilities due to being polar that include cohesive forces, where water molecules are attracted to each other, allowing water to form droplets; adhesive forces, where water molecules are attracted to other substances; and high surface tension, allowing some insects to walk on water.


How does Cohesion cause water to stick together?

cohesion is when molecules of a certain similar kind (in this case water molecules) are more attracted to each other than to those of other substances. Water molecules are strongly cohesive as each molecule may make four hydrogen bonds to other water molecules.


Why water decays food?

Each molecule of water is polarized, which means that one side is positively charged and the other side is negatively charged. Because of this, when water runs over a substance, the water molecules catch on to the other molecules and pull them into the water (decay), or stick them to each molecule (as in a solution).


What happens when many water molecules come into contact with one another Explain?

When many water molecules come into contact with one another, they are attracted to each other due to hydrogen bonding. This attraction causes the water molecules to stick together and form cohesive forces, which results in surface tension and the ability of water to stick to surfaces.


Are molecules that are farthest apart from each other called water vapor?

No, molecules that are farthest apart from each other are not called water vapor. Water vapor refers specifically to the gaseous form of water molecules. Molecules that are far apart from each other can simply be part of a gas phase.


What makes water adhesive?

cohesion-- Water molecules stick to each other. adhesion-- Water molecules stick to other molecules. Water is a polar molecule because of oxygen is more electronegative. Hydrogen bonds create surface tension and result it water's cohesive and adhesive properties. Hydrophobic = repel water Hydropholic = affinity for water. ...... hahaha XD


What is the relationship between oil and water?

The relationship is that they do not mix. The molecules in water are attracted to each other and will not mix with the oil molecules which are also attracted to each other and therefore will not mix with the water molecules


Are the molecules in water close to each other?

Yes, the molecules in water are close to each other due to the hydrogen bonding between water molecules. This leads to water having a relatively high density and being in liquid form at room temperature.
