Explanation: As a result of water's polarity, each water molecule attracts other water molecules because of the opposite charges between them, forming hydrogen bonds. Water also attracts, or is attracted to, other polar molecules and ions, including many biomolecules, such as sugars, nucleic acids, and some amino acids.
Hydrogen bonds cause water to be exceptionally attracted to each other. Therefore, water is very cohesive. We see evidence of water's cohesiveness every day – in water drops and in streams of water.
