The property of water that is attracted to itself is called cohesion. Cohesion is a result of the hydrogen bonding between water molecules, which causes them to stick together. This property allows water to form droplets and have a high surface tension.

What is the name for the property of water in which it sticks to other?

cohesion causes water to adhere to itself. Adhesion causes water to adhere to other things. These two properties together allow for the "wick effect" a.k.a. capillary effect of water where water will actually climb tube.

Is a phosphate head hydrophilic?

Yes, it is. The phosphate group is polar, and is attracted to water, which is also polar. Hydrophilic = attracted to water. The oxygens are very electronegative and carry a partial negative charge. This is attracted to the partial positive hydrogens of water, forming hydrogen bonds.

What do hydrophobic molecules avoid?

Hydrophobic molecules avoid water. Strictly speaking, they do not attract water, and therefore water will avoid them, since it is more attracted to other molecules or to itself.


What property of water allows it to stick to objects and make them wet?

Water's property of cohesion allows it to stick to objects and form a thin film on their surfaces. This is because water molecules are attracted to each other, creating surface tension that enables water to spread out and adhere to surfaces.

When completing the water properties lab which property of water was responsible for the water molecules sticking to the penny?

The property responsible for water molecules sticking to the penny in the water properties lab is surface tension. Surface tension is the result of water molecules being attracted to each other, creating a cohesive force that allows the water to form droplets and cling to surfaces like the penny.
