Cohesion
Water is attracted to water
Surface Tension
Caused by the cohesive force between water molecules which act as a “skin” on the surface of the water
water is attracted to other polar substances
Adhesion
Caused by the cohesive force between water molecules which act as a “skin” on the surface of the water
Surface Tension
Caused by cohesive forces which allow water to rise up a narrow tube
Capillary Action
Polar Molecules
Parts that are positively charged and parts that are negatively charged.

Cohesion
Universal solvent
Water is referred to as this since it can dissolve more substances than any other liquid.

Universal solvent
Density
mass of a substance per unit of volume (example: kg/l or g/ml)
Capillary Action
Caused by cohesive forces which allow water to rise up a narrow tube
high specific heat capacity
it takes a lot of energy to change the temperature of water and even more to change its state.
