Chapter 2.4, Problem 2LO
Summary Introduction

To describe: The adhesive and cohesive properties of water.

Introduction: Water molecules are attracted very well to each other. The positively charged (plus end) end of the hydrogen atom attaches to the negatively charged (minus end) end of the oxygen atom. This attraction forms hydrogen bonding in liquid water. This type of interaction is a weak interaction.
