Question
water can travel up a glass tube against the force of gravity! this is called capillary action. the model shows what happens when a thin glass tube is placed in a beaker of water. complete the sentences. greater adhesive cohesive less forces between water molecules hold the molecules together. forces cause water molecules to stick to the glass molecules in the tube. when adhesive forces are than the cohesive forces, water appears to climb up the tube.
Cohesive forces are the intermolecular forces between like - molecules (water - water here). Adhesive forces are between unlike - molecules (water - glass). Capillary action occurs when adhesive forces between water and glass are greater than the cohesive forces between water molecules.
