Question
the large number of hydrogen bonds causing water molecules to stick to one another is referred to as waters____.
water absorbs a large amount of heat energy before it raises its temperature by one degree celsius. this is called its____.
the sticking together of water molecules by hydrogen bonds is stronger than the bonding between water and air, causing the water molecules to form an ordered arrangement on the waters surface.
specific heat
viscosity
cohesion
heat capacity
adhesion
surface tension
Brief Explanations
- For the first statement, viscosity refers to a fluid's resistance to flow. Water's hydrogen bonds give it a relatively high viscosity compared to some other liquids.
- Specific heat is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by a certain degree. Water has a high specific heat.
- Surface tension is due to the cohesive forces (sticking together of like - molecules, here water molecules) at the surface of a liquid.
