    rate of evaporation   Water molecules are attracted to each other by Cohesion. This action extends down the xylem creating a ’suction’ effect. There is also adhesion between water molecules and the xylem vessels The cohesion and adhesion act together to maintain the water column all the way up from the root to the stomata. The rapid loss of water from the leaf pulls the water column stressing the cohesion and adhesion between water molecules. The movement of water is an example of mass flow

    tension? II. Background Adhesion is the bond between two substances of different makeups. In water‚ adhesion allows it to stick to other surfaces. Cohesion is the bond between two of the same substances. A hydrogen bond is a type of cohesion in water in which the hydrogen atoms of one water molecule being attracted to the oxygen atom of another water molecule. In water‚ each molecule in the middle is pulled equally in every direction by neighboring molecules. The cohesion forces between water molecules

    molecules. The hydrogen bonds between water molecules cause the water molecules other properties like cohesionadhesion‚ surface tension‚ waters ability to retain heat‚ and its ability to dissolve polar or ionic substances. Cohesion and adhesion are some of water ’s unique properties. These properties allow water to travel up plant stems; cohesion makes the water molecules stick together and adhesion makes the water cling to the stem wall therefore counteracting the downward pull of gravity.

    Why is surface tension associated with cohesion and not adhesion? At the surface of the water‚ there is an ordered arrangement of water molecules that are hydrogen-bonded to each other and to the water BELOW‚ not the air above the water. This has a result of pulling the water molecules “down” away from the air-water interface. 5.

    -many physical properties of compounds depend on the intermolecular forces: -wetting (water absorbed by matter) -surface tension -capillary action -melting and boiling points -cohesion (attraction between like molecules) -adhesion (attraction between unlike molecules) -solubility -evaporation -intermolecular forces are much weaker than covalent bonds ex. if covalent bonds are assigned a strength of 100‚ then intermolecular forces are between 0.001 to 15. -there are 3 types of intermolecular

    Cohesion is the attractive force among H2O molecules. They cling to each other and hold on. Not only does water have that property it also has Adhesion. That is the attractive force between H2O molecules and other substances. The water clings to other things. Given both these properties water can cling to a penny a lot better than other liquids. The penny couldn’t hold as many vegetable oil drops because the oil doesn’t have very good cohesion properties. If the oil can’t
