Question

match the property of water with its description. cohesion adhesion capillary action surface tension polarity a force caused by the cohesive nature of water molecules uneven sharing of electrons in covalent bonds causing weak charges water is attracted to other water molecules. combination of adhesion and cohesion causing water to move up a tube against gravity the attraction of water molecules to other charged or polar molecules

Explanation:

• Cohesion: Water molecules attract each other (water is attracted to other water molecules).
• Adhesion: Water attracts to other charged/polar molecules (the attraction of water molecules to other charged or polar molecules).
• Capillary Action: Adhesion + cohesion move water up tube (combination of adhesion and cohesion causing water to move up a tube against gravity).
• Surface Tension: Force from cohesive water (a force caused by the cohesive nature of water molecules).
• Polarity: Uneven electron sharing (uneven sharing of electrons in covalent bonds causing weak charges).

Answer:

• cohesion: water is attracted to other water molecules.
• adhesion: the attraction of water molecules to other charged or polar molecules.
• capillary action: combination of adhesion and cohesion causing water to move up a tube against gravity.
• surface tension: a force caused by the cohesive nature of water molecules.
• polarity: uneven sharing of electrons in covalent bonds causing weak charges.
