The attraction of one water molecule to another resulting from hydrogen bonding.
If you were to represent paired electrons as small balls and connect them by sticks to a not represented oxygen nucleus, you would recognize the shape as being that of the play toy, jacks. Water tends to very efficiently dissolve hydrophilic substances both polar molecules and those which ionize upon dissolving. Because hydrogen is such a good electron donor and oxygen such a good electron acceptor, in a water molecule each hydrogen atom tends to partially give without reciprocation its electrons to oxygen which, in turn, gladly accepts them. Certain atoms, described as highly electronegative, tend to very strongly attract electrons. Oxygen atoms very strongly attract up to two electrons and hence up to two hydrogen atoms. Seems, then, that the Bush administration has been a key player behind the scenes on this effort to roll back protections. When dissolved in water, an individual hydrophobic molecule is, by definition, maximally surrounded by the water molecules of its hydration shell. Unlike the oil industry, which was restructured in the 1990s, big metals companies such as EvrazHolding have just emerged following intensive consolidation.

Consequently, water resists heating; water has a very high specific heat. They Blinded Me with Pseudo Science, by Amanda Griscom. These electron pairs are arranged about the oxygen nucleus such that about pairs show maximal separation from other pairs.
