Question

Water will cling to other surfaces due to hydrogen bonds. This property is refereed to as:

a) Surface tension
b) Cohesion
c) Adhesion
d) Capillarity

Answer 1

Cohesion is the attraction between water and other molecules, which helps create surface tension. Adhesion is the attraction between water molecules.

Step-by-step explanation:

b. Cohesion is the attraction between water and other molecules, which help create surface tension. Insects can walk on water because of cohesion.

Adhesion is the attraction between water molecules. Water moving up from the roots of plants to the leaves as a result of capillary action is because of adhesion. Heat of vaporization is the amount of energy required to convert liquid into gas. This property helps humans maintain homeostasis of body temperature by evaporation.
