The ability for water molecules to stick to other substances

• Cohesion

• Surface Tension

• Solubility

• Adhesion

Water's cohesive tension on its surface that forms a "film" and causes the belly flop.

• Surface adhesion

• Surface stickiness

• Surface Tension

• Cohesion

Why is water considered the universal solvent?

• It is a polar molecule
