    on Earth. One property is cohesion. The cohesion property is properly defined as the binding of water molecules by hydrogen bonds. Water has this property as a result of the chemical bonding between water. Cohesion of the strong hydrogen bonds allows the water molecules to stick together‚ almost as a unit of one. A force exerted on one of the molecules will be exerted on all of the adjacent molecules as a result of cohesion. Cohesion‚ often with the cooperation of adhesion‚ the clinging of one substance

    A paper towel which can also be known as kitchen paper is an absorbent towel made up of cellulose fibers‚ which also make up other plants like cotton and wood instead of cloth material. Although paper towels cannot be washed and used again‚ paper towels are disposable. The key to why paper towels soak up water is the cellulose fibers. Cellulose fibers are giant molecules which are made up of smaller molecules called sugar molecules (inedible) joined together. The liquid grips onto the cellulose fibers

    high specific heat due to the hydrogen bonds. Because of this‚ water requires a large amount of energy to raise its temperature by just one degree. The polar nature of water allows the water molecules to attach to one another this is called cohesion. Cohesion gives water its surface tension where the water molecules bind to each other making it difficult for the surface to be broken. b.) Water is known as the universal solvent. Its polarity allows it to ionize materials by breaking down ionic

    electrical forces while covalent bonds are a lot stronger and are formed when atoms are forced to share electrons. Water has different properties. One is cohesion which is the attraction between molecules of a given substance. Cohesion in water molecules causes surface tension which makes the water molecules stick together. Another is adhesion which is the attraction of molecules in different substances. There are two sides to a pH scale‚ base and acid. Acids are a compound of substances that release

    The first property of water is that it is an excellent solvent. This is because of the chemical composition and physical attributes of water. Since water is polar‚ it allows water molecules to become attracted to different molecules. The attraction can be so powerful that it can disrupt the attractive forces of the different molecules. For example‚ water can be heavily attracted to salt that it can disrupt the forces that hold sodium and chloride‚ therefore dissolving it. The second property of water
