Question
water can travel up a glass tube against the force of gravity! this is called capillary action. the model shows what happens when a thin glass tube is placed in a beaker of water. complete the sentences. forces cause water molecules to stick to the glass molecules in the tube. forces between water molecules hold the molecules together. when forces are greater than the forces, water appears to climb up the tube.
Adhesive forces make water molecules stick to glass molecules. Cohesive forces hold water - water molecules together. When adhesive forces are greater than gravitational forces, water climbs up the tube.
