Question

determine whether each statement is true or false. a scoop - shaped concave meniscus forms when adhesive forces between a liquid and its container are stronger than cohesive forces between the liquid molecules. capillary action is only observed in plants. adhesion is an attractive force between different types of molecules. adhesive forces hold water molecules together as water rises in a tube. both adhesive and cohesive forces help move water from the roots of a plant to its leaves.

Explanation:

1. When adhesive > cohesive, concave meniscus forms. True.
2. Capillary action is in many places, not just plants. False.
3. Adhesion is between different molecules. True.
4. Cohesive forces hold water molecules together in tube - rise. False.
5. Both forces help water in plant. True.

Answer:

1. True
2. False
3. True
4. False
5. True
