Question

water can form drops on a surface, like on a leaf. drops form because water molecules are attracted to each other and form hydrogen bonds. an attractive force between the same kinds of molecules is called cohesion. cohesion causes water molecules to be drawn together, forming drops. select the true statements. a water molecule can form hydrogen bonds with several other water molecules. cohesive forces push water molecules away from each other. the cohesive forces between water molecules are hydrogen bonds. cohesion is an attractive force between the same kinds of molecules.

Explanation:

• A water molecule has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The oxygen atom can form hydrogen bonds with hydrogen atoms of other water molecules, and each hydrogen atom can form a hydrogen bond with an oxygen atom of another water molecule. So, a water molecule can form hydrogen bonds with several other water molecules.
• Cohesion is an attractive force (not a pushing force) between the same kinds of molecules. In water, the cohesive forces are hydrogen bonds. As the text says, “An attractive force between the same kinds of molecules is called cohesion. Cohesion causes water molecules to be drawn together, forming drops.”

Answer:

A. A water molecule can form hydrogen bonds with several other water molecules.
C. The cohesive forces between water molecules are hydrogen bonds.
D. Cohesion is an attractive force between the same kinds of molecules.
