Answer:

            Many of water's emergent properties, such as its cohesion, its high specific heat, and its high heat of vaporization, result from the fact that water molecules are attracted to each other by partial negative and positive charges on the oxygen and hydrogen atoms, respectively.

Explanation:

                     Hydrogen Bond Interactions are those interactions which are formed between a partial positive hydrogen atom bonded directly to most electronegative atoms (i.e. F, O and N) of one molecule interacts with the partial negative most electronegative atom of another molecule. These interactions are considered the strongest intermolecular interactions and are responsible for water's emergent properties.

                       Attached figure shows the hydrogen bond interactions (green dashed lines) between water molecules.
