Answer:

Water molecules tend to stick together due to the structure and charge of the atoms present in the water. Hydrogen atoms are positively charged while oxygen atoms are negatively charged. ... All water molecules are exerting cohesive forces on all the molecules around them including those on the surface of a body of water
