Question

Water molecules are ____________ due to _________bonding. This property helps water molecules to stick to each other and allows for the movement of water from plant roots up to plant leaves

Answer 1

cohesive; hydrogen I learned it in class today

Answer 2

Answer: cohesive , hydrogen

Step-by-step explanation: Cohesion is the force of attraction between similar molecules. Water molecules are cohesive due to hydrogen bonding. This property of water allows the molecules of water to stick to each other.

Water forms hydrogen bond due to the presence of hydrogen atom and a electronegative oxygen atom. The formation of hydrogen bonds leads to the cohesive nature of the substance allowing plants to transport water from their roots up through stems to their leaves due to capillary action which is also a result of hydrogen bonding.
