the attractive force that binds dissimilar molecules, surfaces, or cells to one another.

the tendency of similar molecules to stick together, most notably seen when water molecules bond to each other through hydrogen bonds.

a structure that has a slight positive charge on one end and a slight negative charge on the other due to an unequal sharing of electrons.

a weak electrostatic attraction between a partially positive hydrogen atom and a strongly electronegative atom (like oxygen or nitrogen) on another molecule or nearby group.

he physical property of a liquid's surface—primarily water—that allows it to resist external force and act like a stretched elastic film, driven by the cohesive attraction between molecules.

the movement of a liquid through narrow spaces or tubes against gravity, driven by the combined forces of adhesion, cohesion, and surface tension.

Specific heat capacity

the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius (°C).

Expansion upon freezing

Water expands upon freezing because its molecules form a rigid, open crystal lattice that takes up more space than liquid water.

Water is called the "universal solvent" because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid.

Term	Definition
Adhesion	the attractive force that binds dissimilar molecules, surfaces, or cells to one another.
Cohesion	the tendency of similar molecules to stick together, most notably seen when water molecules bond to each other through hydrogen bonds.
Polar molecule	a structure that has a slight positive charge on one end and a slight negative charge on the other due to an unequal sharing of electrons.
Hydrogen bond	a weak electrostatic attraction between a partially positive hydrogen atom and a strongly electronegative atom (like oxygen or nitrogen) on another molecule or nearby group.
Surface tension	he physical property of a liquid's surface—primarily water—that allows it to resist external force and act like a stretched elastic film, driven by the cohesive attraction between molecules.
Capillary action	the movement of a liquid through narrow spaces or tubes against gravity, driven by the combined forces of adhesion, cohesion, and surface tension.
Specific heat capacity	the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius (°C).
Expansion upon freezing	Water expands upon freezing because its molecules form a rigid, open crystal lattice that takes up more space than liquid water.
Universal solvent	Water is called the "universal solvent" because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid.
