Water is H2O, 2 molecules of hydrogen and 1 molecule of oxygen. Water is slightly polar (has an electric charge). Surface tension and capillary action are the properties that result from polar water molecules. Surface tension is the property of water molecules clinging to each other. Capillary action is just like surface tension except water clings to other molecules (e.g. glass, plastic).
