What accounts for water's properties of adhesion and cohesion

Hey there!

The ability of water to form multiple hydrogen bonds the accounts for water’s properties of adhesion and cohesion.This stems from water’s uneven will allow distribution of electrons between the oxygen and the hydrogen atoms. So water is considered to be a polar molecule.


Hope this helps

The adhesion and cohesion of water is a result of water's ability to form hydrogen bonds. The way a water molecule is organized has one side of the molecule having a slight positive charge, while the other has a slight negative charge. The slight negative and positives are attracted to each other, making the water sticky in  a sense, or more technically adhesive and cohesive.

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Quadrat method is used for estimating the number of individuals in an area. In this method, a large square area on the ground or water surface is marked, call it an enclave. The number of animals present in this enclave is counted. Then by assuming that the animals are less migratory and are uniformly distributed, their number for a large area is estimated by the use of unitary method of calculation. Example a 4 square feet area has 2 snails, then a 1000 square feet area will have (1000 x 2)/4, i.e, 500 snails in it. Fishes can be counted using this method only if they are confined in a small water body like a lake or a pond. Rivers are flowing so the fishes may move along its length which can give us an underestimate or an overestimate of their numbers. Sea has its depth and huge area, and fishes can be moving randomly in it. Hence this method will not work for river and sea fishes.

LL x ll= Ll, Ll, Ll and Ll

The phenotype of the mating between two mertie dogs with true long-coat trait and true short-coat trait is heterozygous long-coat dogs will be produced all through

I'LL GIVE BRAINLEST!
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Ok so i will try my best to describe the answers:

1) a convection current is like a boiling pot of soup. the burner heats up the soup on the bottom. hot air always goes up because the molecules become more active, making them space out upward. the hot soup travels up through the center of the pot, and the cold soup up top travels down towards the edges of the pot to replace the hot soup that just moved up. the process keeps on going and going until there is no more heat, or until the burner turns off.

2&3) the sun makes everything warmer, so when the sun touches Earth's surface, it warms up the air around it. as soon as the air warms up, it goes up into the atmosphere, like the pot of soup example. then, cold air from the top moves in to replace the hot air. with so many molecules of air moving at one time, it makes gusts of wind during the movement. when it is really windy, that means that there is a lot of hot air moving up and cold air moving down. when there is no wind, that means that every molecule is where it is supposed to be, not disturbing one another.

I hope this helps :D
