Which property of water is a direct consequence of hydrogen bonding between water molecules?
A.High surface tension
B.High compressibility
C.Electrical conductivity of pure water
D.Toxicity at low doses
Explanation
Core Concept
Hydrogen bonds pull surface molecules inward and sideways, creating a taut 'skin' that supports small insects. This cohesion between H₂O molecules is a direct hydrogen-bonding consequence.
Correct Answer
AHigh surface tension
