Question

The interactions between water molecules and other non-water molecules through hydrogen bonding is known as ____________________________.

Answer 1

Answer: adhesion

Explanation:

Cohesion is the attraction between similar molecules. Example: Force of attraction between water molecules.

Thus hydrogen bond formed between the molecules of water due to the development of partial negative charge on oxygen and partial positive charge on hydrogen is cohesion.

Adhesion is the attraction between different molecules. Example: Force of attraction between HCl and water.

The hydrogen bond formed between H of HCl and O of water due to developments of partial positive and partial negative charge respectively is adhesion.
