Question

Water molecules have a strong attraction to one another.

What property best describes this attraction?
Choose 1 answer:

A
Hydrophobic

B
Cohesion

C
Density

D
Adhesion

Answer 1

The answer is Cohesion.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B: Cohesion

Explanation:

Cohesion is the ability of water molecules to be strongly bonded together. This happens due to the polarity of water molecules. Since water is made up of two positive hydrogen ions that combine with one negative oxygen ion to form a hydrogen bond. Hence, the molecular structure of water enables hydrogen irons to attract oxygen ions that create a strong polar bond between water molecules.
