The pull on the surface of liquids that allows liquids to form drops when they fall?
cohesion/ cohesive forces
What is the definition of cohesion force?
Cohesive force is the force of attraction between molecules of the same kind or of the same substance. Eg. cohesive force of attraction exists between water molecules
What is the force of attraction between the particles in a liquid?
van der waals
Are gases and liquids forces?
No. Gases and liquids are matter. Matter is not a force; it is acted upon by forces. Gases and liquids can exert a force or transmit a force, but they themselves are not forces.
Does all liquids exert the same bouyant force?
No. Fluids with higher density produce higher buoyant force.
How are the molecules in a particular solid different from the molecules of that substance in a liquid form?
the molecules in solids are tigthly packed that is the intermolecular force(cohesive) force is more but in liquids the intermolecular force(cohesive force) is less .solids have fixed shape,volume, mass but liquids have no fixed shape as it takes shape of the container.
What makes water wet?
Water is a wetting liquid but Mercury is non wetting so not the all liquid are wetting it depends upon Adhesive and cohesive forces , the liquids having strong adhesive force than cohesive become absorbed on a solid surface and that surface becomes wet but the liquids having strong cohesive force can not absorbed on a solid surface so material remains dry and such liquids are non wetting liquids as Mercury, so water is wetting liquid due to its strong adhesive force.
What is the major force acting on all objects in the universe?
nuclear force,gravitational force,magnetic force and adhesive and cohesive force
What force enables the stem to absorb water?
Adhesion and Cohesion or cohesive attraction or cohesive force

What is the definition of cohesion force?
Cohesive force is the force of attraction between molecules of the same kind or of the same substance. Eg. cohesive force of attraction exists between water molecules
The pull on the surface of the liquids that allow liquids to form drops when they fall?
It is surface tension.
What are some forces that can act when in contact?
cohesive force and Adhesive force
What force causes the molecules of blood to be attracted to each other?
Strong cohesive force
What factors affect buoyant force?
cohesive and adhesive force
What is the force of attraction between the particles in a liquid?
van der waals
What is the term for when water sticks to water?
This is known as the Cohesive Force.
