Adhesion
Attraction between any 2 unlike molecules
Aqueous

Xylem
Carries water and dissolved minerals up the rootsystem to leaves

Non polar bond
Electrons are negatively charges and nucleus is positively charged, Any electron that are shared equally create a bond the charges cancel and it becomes a non polar bond
Polar bonding
Unequal sharing of electrons
Dipolarity
Has different charges at each end
Hydrogen bonds
Short lived attractions between two molecules of the same or different
Cohesion
When molecules of the same type are attracted to eachother
High specific heat (thermal property)
Water can absorb or give off a great deal of heat without changing temperature much
