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. a concave meniscus forms in a glass column when forces between water and glass are than forces between water molecules.

Explanation:

The text states that when water is in a glass column, water - glass adhesive forces are stronger than water - water cohesive forces, leading to the formation of a concave meniscus.

Answer:

A concave meniscus forms in a glass column when adhesive forces between water and glass are stronger than cohesive forces between water molecules.
