Question

select the true statements. cohesive forces push water molecules away from each other. cohesion is an attractive force between the same kinds of molecules. a water molecule can form hydrogen bonds with several other water molecules. the cohesive forces between water molecules are hydrogen bonds.

Explanation:

Cohesion is the attraction between like - molecules. In water, hydrogen bonds form between water molecules, which are the cohesive forces. A single water molecule can form hydrogen bonds with several other water molecules due to its polar nature. The first statement is false as cohesive forces pull water molecules together, not push them away.

Answer:

B. Cohesion is an attractive force between the same kinds of molecules.
C. A water molecule can form hydrogen bonds with several other water molecules.
D. The cohesive forces between water molecules are hydrogen bonds.
