What is the attractive force between water molecules known as?
This is an intermolecular attraction of water molecules, associated by hydrogen bonds.
What force of attraction is responsible for the formation of a thin film on the surface of water?
The attraction that causes water and other liquids to form drops and thin films is cohesion. The attraction between oppositely charges ions results in the formation of an ionic bond.
Why water dissloves so many different substances?
Water dissolves many substances but its molecules have both a positive and negative side. Each part of the molecule can bond with the molecules of many other substances and create a new solution. This is the reason water is considered the universal solvent.
What is the most important role of hydrogen bonding between water molecules?
The molecules of water are held together by hydrogen bonding between molecules.These are electrostatic bonds (attraction forces between opposite charges) that hydrogen makes with the oxygen of neighbouring molecules. Hydrogen, when bonded to oxygen to form water molecules, is slightly positive and the oxygen in the water molecule is slightly negative. Hydrogen gets attracted to the neighbouring slightly negative oxygen atoms.This is great for life on Earth because small molecules the size of water tend to be gases but water is a liquid. It is a liquid due to the hydrogen bonding between molecules.
How much does water expand when it freezes?
water exspands 25milimeters. ----------------------------------------------------------- The answer above is not correct. The expansion of water after freezing is approx. 9 %. This phenomenon is due to the fact that hydrogen bonds between water molecules are stronger at low temperatures.
Would a large body of water molecules have a stronger attraction to fewer molecules?
A large body of water molecules would typically not have a stronger attraction to fewer molecules. It would however attempt to pull smaller molecules toward it.
At sea level water boils at 100 degrees Celsius while methane boils at negative 161 degrees Celsius Which has a stronger attraction between particles?
Water because water has the highest boiling point, < anything.
What is the combined force of attraction among water molecules and with the molecules of surrounding materials is called?
capillary action
What is the combined force of attraction among water molecules and with the molecules of surrounding materials?
Capillary Action I think.
The combined force of attraction among water molecules and with the molecules of surrounding materials is called?
Capillary Action.
The combined force of attraction among water molecules and with the molecules of surrounding materials is called .?
Capillary Action.
The weak chemical attraction between water molecules is a while the stronger chemical bond between the atom of each water molecule is a?
the weak chemical attraction is Hydroden bond while the stronger one is the Ionic bond
Why is AlBr3 soluble in water?
For any soluble substance, the ions of that substance have a stronger attraction for water molecules than they do for each other.
The attraction between water molecules is the result of water?
The attraction is: A POLAR COVALENT BOND
Why does drop of water appear like pearl?
A drop of water appears like a pearl due to the cohesive forces among its molecules. Forces of attraction between water molecules and other molecules called adhesive forces.
What is the type of attraction that holds two water molecules together?
The type of attraction that holds two water molecules together is an electrostatic attraction, known as the hydrogen bond.
What is water particles particles?
water consists of polar molecules (having partially positive and negative charges) the partially charge of one molecule attracts the opposite partially charge of other molecules (hydrogen bonding) it creates attraction among water molecules.
