The hydrogen bonding in water creates a cohesive force that enables one to slightly overfill a glass with water or allows denser objects,such as a lengthwise steel needle,to float on water.What is this known as?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cohesive force created by hydrogen bonding in water is known as surface tension, which allows for the slightly overfilling of a glass with water and for dense objects to float on water. Capillary action involves the movement of a liquid along a narrow space due to adhesive and cohesive forces, heat exchange involves the exchange of thermal energy between different substances, and friction is a force that opposes motion.
