Question

which of the following are properties of water due to cohesion? select all that apply.
remaining liquid at higher temperatures
surface tension on ponds
capillary action

Explanation:

• Remaining liquid at higher temperatures: This is due to water's high boiling point, caused by hydrogen bonding (a form of cohesive attraction between water molecules) requiring significant energy to break.
• Surface tension on ponds: Surface tension arises from cohesive forces between water molecules at the surface, creating a "skin" effect.
• Capillary action: This relies on both cohesion (water molecules sticking to each other) and adhesion (water sticking to tube surfaces), so cohesion is a key contributing factor.

Answer:

• remaining liquid at higher temperatures
• surface tension on ponds
• capillary action
