Which of the following properties of water is the result of strong forces of attraction between water molecules?
A. Cohesion
B. Specific heat
C. Transpiration
D. Adhesion
Answer (2)
The property of water resulting from strong forces of attraction between water molecules is cohesion. Cohesion is due to hydrogen bonding and causes water molecules to stick together. Other properties like specific heat, transpiration, and adhesion are influenced by, but do not originate from, these intermolecular forces. ;
The correct answer is A. Cohesion, which is the property of water that results from strong forces of attraction between water molecules due to hydrogen bonding. This causes water molecules to stick together, creating effects like surface tension. While specific heat, transpiration, and adhesion relate to water properties, they do not directly stem from the forces of attraction between water molecules.
