hydrogen bonds
In water molecules, hydrogen bonds are formed between the partially positive hydrogens of one water molecule and the partially negative oxygens of other water molecules.
hydrophilic
Hydrophilic substances are attracted to water and form intermolecular bonds. They are said to be soluble in water.
non-polar
Non-polar molecules are hydrophobic and do not interact with water
Cohesion
cohesion explains water’s surface tension properties, and is responsible for maintaining an uninterrupted water column
adhesion
adhesion explains capillary action, in plants, adhesion allows water to travel by capillary forces
viscosity
stroperigheid
