What is responsible for the attraction between water molecules?
Water molecules are attracted to each other by 'cohesive force'. It is the force that holds a droplet of water together in a raindrop, or in a semi-spherical shape if dripped onto glass. Water is also affected by ' adhesive force' which causes the droplet on glass to adhere (stick ) to the glass as well. In a thin glass tube the adhesive force makes the water move upwards.
Why does water stick to hand?
Water sticks to your hand due to the forces of surface tension and adhesion. Surface tension allows water molecules to stick together and form a "skin" on the surface of your skin, while adhesion causes water molecules to stick to the molecules on your skin, creating a bond. This adhesion is stronger than the force of gravity pulling the water downward, so the water sticks to your hand.
