Question

capillary action is the result of adhesion. which of the following best explains this aspect of water? hydrogen bonds form between water molecules and another surface. polar covalent bonds joins molecules of water to other surfaces. ionic bonds enable electrons to flow through water and into another substance. nonpolar covalent bonds enable water to dissolve other substances.

Explanation:

Capillary action due to adhesion is caused by hydrogen - bonding between water molecules and another surface. Polar covalent bonds are within water molecules, not for adhesion in capillary action. Ionic bonds are not related to capillary action in this context. Non - polar covalent bonds are not relevant to water's adhesion in capillary action.

Answer:

hydrogen bonds form between water molecules and another surface.
