Properties of Water- Cohesion and Adhesion definitions Flashcards

Attraction between water molecules due to hydrogen bonding, causing them to stick together.

Attraction between water molecules due to hydrogen bonding, causing them to stick together.

Characteristics that arise from the interaction and organization of simpler components, resulting in new, complex functions not present in individual parts.

Molecules that exhibit cohesion by forming hydrogen bonds, causing them to stick together due to partial negative and positive charges.

Attraction between a partially positive hydrogen atom of one molecule and a partially negative atom (like oxygen or nitrogen) of another, leading to cohesion in water.

An attraction between a partially positive hydrogen atom of one molecule and a partially negative atom (like oxygen or nitrogen) of another, crucial for water's cohesive properties.
