H2O • A Closer Look at water
Cohesion • The molecular attraction by which particles are united
Adhesion • The molecular attraction between surfaces of bodies in contact
Surface Tension • The attractive force exerted upon the surface molecules of a liquid by the molecules beneath that tends to draw the surface molecules into the bulk of the liquid and make the liquid assume the shape of having the least surface area
Water-The Universal Solvent • Solvent: A substance, usually a liquid, capable of dissolving another substance • Why is water such a good solvent? • How water works as a solvent
