Question
water molecules are also attracted to other kinds of molecules. this is called adhesion. when water is placed in a glass column, water molecules are more attracted to the polar glass molecules than to each other. this causes the water to climb up the sides of the glass slightly and results in the formation of a concave meniscus, or a scoop - shaped curve in the surface of the water. complete the sentences. stronger adhesive cohesive weaker a concave meniscus forms in a glass column when forces between water molecules are than forces between water and glass.
The text states that when water is in a glass column, water molecules are more attracted to the polar glass molecules than to each other, forming a concave meniscus. This means cohesive forces (between water - water) are weaker than adhesive forces (between water - glass).
