The cohesive force of water is due to
- AS-bonds
- BO-bonds
- Correct answerCH-bonds
- DOH-bonds
Solution
Cohesion refers to attraction between molecules of same kind. Cohesive force is found in water molecule due to ability of hydrogen bonding. It is a special type of dipole-dipole interaction between molecules. In water hydrogen bond is a dynamic attraction between neighboring water molecules which involves one hydrogen atom located between the two oxygen atoms.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
