Adhesion
Adhesion is the attraction between unlike substances, often involving polar or charged surfaces.
Cohesion
The force of attraction between molecules of the same substance (in this case, water).
Latent heat of vaporization
Latent heat of vaporization is the amount of energy required to convert 1 kg of liquid to vapor without a change in temperature.
Polarity
Polarity refers to the uneven distribution of electrical charge in a molecule, leading to regions of slight positive and negative charge.
Specific heat capacity
Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1°C.
Transpiration
Transpiration is the release of water vapour by plants into the atmosphere.
