Question

Water molecules are made of slightly positively charged hydrogen atoms and slightly negatively charged oxygen

atoms. Which force keeps water molecules stuck to one another?

Answer 1

Surface tension.

Step-by-step explanation:

Water has this thing called surface tension, where the water, most of the time, is hard to split.

A few examples of surface tension in action:

• If you spill some water, you can see that they seem to connect together as if they were magnetic.
• You can put around 20-30 drops of water on average on a penny. This shows that water has better surface tension than other liquids, like oil, that can the penny can only hold around 10-15.
• Lastly, water bugs (which are kind of like mosquitos) can actually stay on top of the water, because they do not break the surface tension of it.

Hope this helps you!
