Answer:

The polar water molecules exert strong cohesive forces on one another

Explanation:

The forces of cohesion refer to the strong attractive forces that molecules of a substance exert on each other.

This strong attractive force keeps the molecules of the water together and causes the water molecules to be pulled inside towards each other. We refer to this phenomenon as surface tension.

Hence, due to surface tension, water does not run off an inclined plane.
