Question

what role do hydrogen bonds play in waters properties? they do not affect waters properties in organisms. they make water molecules electrically neutral. they allow for cohesion and adhesion, contributing to capillary action and surface tension. they are strong covalent bonds between water molecules.

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonds in water allow for cohesion (attraction between water - water molecules) and adhesion (attraction between water and other substances), which contribute to capillary action and surface tension. They are not strong covalent bonds between water molecules. Water molecules are polar due to hydrogen - bonding, not electrically neutral. And hydrogen bonds play a crucial role in water's properties in organisms.

Answer:

They allow for cohesion and adhesion, contributing to capillary action and surface tension
