Question
what is adhesion? 5 points the attraction between molecules of the same type the attraction between water molecules and non - polar surfaces the attraction between different types of molecules the repulsion between water molecules in capillary action, why does water rise higher in narrower tubes? 5 points because of decreased gravity due to more surface area contact relative to volume because water becomes less dense due to decreased adhesion what condition must be met for water to show adhesive properties with a * 5 points surface? the surface must be non - polar the surface must be polar or charged the surface must be completely smooth the surface must be water - repellent
Adhesion is the attraction between different - types of molecules. In capillary action, water rises higher in narrower tubes because there is more surface - area contact relative to volume. Water shows adhesive properties with a surface when the surface is polar or charged as water is a polar molecule and is attracted to polar or charged surfaces.
