The strong intermolecular forces in water lead to strong surface
tension, as each water molecule exerts a high force on neighboring
molecules. Because the molecules on the surface have fewer
neighboring molecules, they are held more tightly by the molecules
beneath them. These strong forces also allow water to resist
evaporation on the surface of a body of water, to form nearly
spherical raindrops, and to move upward through plants.
Think about how water moves from the roots of a plant to the
leaves. Describe how plants might be affected if the intermolecular
forces in water decreased.
