Introduction
Water is the universal solvent and a basic necessity for all living things. Water also has many properties that affect the way it behaves under certain circumstances. Some of these are adhesion, cohesion, surface tension, capillary action, and polarity or hydrogen bonds. Adhesion can be described as the attraction among molecules of the same substance, while cohesion is the attraction of molecules of the same substance. Surface tension can be described as the affects of cohesion; otherwise the bonding of the water molecules on a surface. Capillary Action is the ability of water molecules to travel against gravity by adhesion. Polarity is the difference of charges in an H-Bond, creating a neutral molecule.
