Answer:

Water has several  very unique properties, like surface tension, cohesion, and adhesion because water  is polar and every water molecule electrically attracts the neighboring  water molecules.

Explanation:

Water is a universal solvent and has several  unique properties like surface tension, adhesion, cohesion, high specific heat, etc.

In a water molecule, the oxygen atom's nucleus attracts electrons more strongly than the nuclei of hydrogen atoms. The negatively charged electrons are pulled toward the oxygen atom's nucleus and away from the hydrogen atom nuclei. As a result, a negative electrical charge occurs in the middle part of the water molecule near the oxygen atom and a positive charge near the other parts of the molecule (hydrogen atoms). This unequal distribution of electrical charge between different parts of the water molecule (polarity) makes it a polar molecule.

The positive part of one water molecule (hydrogen atoms) is attracted to the negative parts of neighboring water molecules and as a result, hydrogen bonds are formed between hydrogen and oxygen atoms of adjacent water molecules. These hydrogen bonds between molecules help hold water molecules together.

What is cancer and what happens to make it occur​
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells divide uncontrollably and destroy body tissue.

Explanation:

Cancer is caused by gene mutations, which are sometimes caused by inherited gene mutations (ones you are born with), or mutations that occur after birth (i.e smoking, being overweight, chronic inflammation, viruses, cancer-causing chemicals (carcinogens), hormones, and lack of exercise.)

Your habits (drinking alcohol frequently etc. )

And family history are the main influences of cancer.

However, inherited cancer is usually rare.

Hope this helps!!!

I used to study medicine and so I know a lot about this.
