Uestion 1(multiple choice worth 5 points) (08.01 mc) which of the following describes a characteristic of water that makes it cohesive in nature? it has a partial negative charge on hydrogen and a partial positive charge on oxygen. it has a linear molecular structure with h-o-h arranged in a straight line. it has a vast electronegativity difference between its constituent atoms. it requires a high amount of heat to raise or drop its temperature.

It has a vast electronegativity difference between its constituent atoms.  

Explanation:

This makes the O-H bond so polar that it can form strong hydrogen bonds (cohesive forces) with its neighbours.

A is wrong. The charge on H is δ⁺ and the charge on O is δ⁻.

B is wrong. A water molecule has a bent shape.  If it were linear, water would be nonpolar.

D is wrong. It is a statement of a physical property of water. It does not explain the cohesive forces in water.

C - It has a vast electronegativity difference between its constituent atoms.
