Answer:

it has a huge electronegativity difference between it's atoms

The characteristic of water that makes it cohesive in nature is,

  • It has a huge electronegativity difference between its atoms.

So, option C is correct one.

Why water is cohesive in nature?

  • The water molecule contains two hydrogen atoms and oxyegen atom.
  • The electronegativity of hydrogen atoms and oxyegen atom is 2.1 and 3.44
  • Due to high electronegativity of oxygen ,it can attract the bonded pair of electron of hydrogen and form a strong bond and make it cohesive in nature.

What are major characteristics of water?

The water molecule have unique characteristics among all some are given below.

  • Water is polar, with partial positive charge on two hydrogen and partial negative charge on one oxygen.
  • Water is act as solvent and dissolves the polar and ionic substance.
  • Water has high heat of vaporization.
  • Water has cohesive and adhesive properties.
  • Water has high heat capacity.
