Cohesion vs adhesion — difference?
Cohesion: water-water, adhesion: water-surface
Water — polarity?
Polar molecule with bent shape.
Hydrogen bonds — role?
Responsible for cohesion and surface tension
Hydrogen bonds — role?
Cause water's properties like cohesion.
Water molecule — formula?
H₂O
Cohesion vs adhesion?
Cohesion: water-water; adhesion: water-surface.
High specific heat — effect?
Resists temperature changes.
Why ice floats?
Less dense due to hydrogen bonding.
Water — dissolving capability?
Dissolves polar and ionic substances.
Capillary action — causes?
Cohesion + adhesion in small tubes.
