Question

question 1-16
which of the following properties of water can be used to explain why water is able to form a rain drop when it falls from a cloud?
cohesive ability
universal solvent
ability to moderate temperature
expansion upon freezing

Explanation:

Cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same substance. Water molecules have strong cohesive forces due to hydrogen - bonding. This allows water to form spherical raindrops as it falls from a cloud, minimizing surface area. The other properties listed (universal solvent, ability to moderate temperature, expansion upon freezing) are not related to raindrop formation.

Answer:

cohesive ability
