Question

As you add drops of water to the surface of the penny, each drop sticks to the other

water droplet forming a large drop on top of the penny. This is caused by which
water property?
adhesion
cohesion
O capillary action

Answer 1

As you add drops of water to the surface of the penny, each drop sticks to the other water droplet forming a large drop on top of the penny. This is caused by (B) Cohesion.

Explanation:

The pure substance molecule attracts each other. Their sticking process to each other is called cohesion. Their depending property shows whether the substance is cohesive or not. Hydrogen bond easily attracts each other because of this property and due to this, water is very cohesive. In liquid form of water, they easily break and reform it. The cohesive property of water is what we can see in our daily life. We can see it in forms of droplets and streams.

Answer 2

Cohesion property.

Step-by-step explanation: Cohesion refers to the attraction of molecules for other molecules of the same kind, and water molecules have strong cohesive forces thanks to their ability to form hydrogen bonds with one another.
