Question

Which of the properties of water explains why water molecules bond to each other? *
A)Cohesion
B)Adhesion
C)Surface Tension
D)Capillary Action

Answer 1

Adhension is the answer

Answer 2

Explanation:

The two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom within water molecules (H2O) form polar covalent bonds. ... As a result of water's polarity, each water molecule attracts other water molecules because of the opposite charges between them, forming hydrogen bonds.

A- Cohesion:

Hydrogen bonds hold water molecules together. Cohesion creates surface tension which is why if you fill a spoon with water, drop by drop, the water volume will actually be bigger than the spoon's surface before the water falls off.

Here is video showing how a paperclip can ""float"" on water - it's actually being held up by the hydrogen bonds formed between water molecules which give water its surface tension.
