Answer;
-The cohesive property of water
Explanation;
-Cohesion is the property that allows substances to withstand rupture when placed under stress while adhesion is the attraction between water and other molecules. In cohesion, water molecules are attracted to each other (because of hydrogen bonding), keeping the molecules together at the liquid-gas (water-air) interface.
-Cohesion holds hydrogen bonds together to create surface tension on water.
-Cohesion allows for the development of surface tension, the capacity of a substance to withstand being ruptured when placed under tension or stress. This is also why water forms droplets when placed on a dry surface rather than being flattened out by gravity.
