Answered by admin @


The cohesion property of water causes each drop of water to stick to the other water droplet forming a large drop on top of the penny.

PROPERTY OF WATER:

  • Water is a unique molecule owing to the fact that it possess specific properties that distinguishes it from other molecules.

  • Majority of these unique properties of water is attributed to the hydrogen bond that forms between water molecules.

  • One of the properties of water is COHESION, which is the ability for water to attract other water molecules i.e. like attraction. Cohesion is the reason why water molecules join to one another and move together.

  • According to this question, as one adds drop of water to the surface of a penny, each drop sticks to the other water droplet forming a large drop on top of the penny. This is caused by the cohesion property of water.
