Question

The strong cohesive nature of water results in:

A.) a lack of hydrogen bonds
B.) a weaker surface tension.
C.) the polarity of the water being lost.
D.) None of the choices are correct.

Answer 1

B.) a stronger surface tension.

Water's cohesion is what causes water molecules to stick together and create surface tension, which is why small insects, like water striders, can seemingly "float" on the surface of water. So, option B is the correct choice.
