Question

classify each statement as an example of adhesion, cohesion, or surface tension. drag each statement to the appropriate bin. a drop of water spilled on a table forms a drop on the table, rather than spreading out over the surface. a sewing needle floats when it is placed gently on top of water in a bucket. a water strider runs across a pond without breaking the surface. water molecules are attracted to each other. water molecules cling to plant cell walls. water molecules cling to the side of a beaker. view available hint(s) reset help adhesion cohesion surface tension

Explanation:

Adhesion is attraction between different substances, cohesion between like - substances, and surface tension is due to cohesive forces creating a 'skin' on water surface.

Answer:

Adhesion: Water molecules cling to plant cell walls, Water molecules cling to the side of a beaker.
Cohesion: A drop of water spilled on a table forms a drop rather than spreading out, Water molecules are attracted to each other.
Surface tension: A water strider runs across a pond without breaking the surface, A sewing needle floats when it is placed gently on top of water in a bucket.
