I think you mean 'capillarity' which happens in very thin tubes because the adhesive forces between water and glass molecules is greater than the cohesive force between water molecules alone. In narrow tubes, this is enough to pull the liquid up the tube.

Why does an egg sink into a glass bottle but not a plastic bottle?
It floats because the water is heaver then the bottle. The bottle is light so it floats. No,It floats because the particles are free to move inside but with water in it there is not enough space for the particles to move so it floats.
Explain how the particles in an ice cube differ from the particles in a glass of water?
In an ice cube there are tighter and closer particles since ice cubes are a solid.But, a glass of WATER, meaning a liquid, doesn't have particles that close, maybejust a little apart. That's how they differ. Go to Sciencesource.ca for more informationon particle theory. Choose grade 7, and proceed.Additional response:They are colder.
Does a solid have a particle speed?
it depends on how fast you pour a liquid eg: your puring a glass of water down the sink and you pure it drop drop by drop that is slow or your puring lots down at once. basicaly it depends on how fast you are puring
What happens when you heat up a liquid particle?
No, heating a liquid makes it's particles move farther apart (makes the liquid expand). This is most readily observed in an old glass thermometer. As your temperature goes up (as you heat the liquid in the thermometer), the liquid inside expands and travels up the thermometer.
Why do smaller particles move faster in water?
Because of the heat in the water.
How do the particles move in a glass of milk?
As milk is a colloid,so particles must move in brownian motion(zig-zag motion)
Do water particles move in large circles true or false?
Water particles move in circles
Why do the tea particles spread out quicker in hot water then cold water?
This can be explained using particle theory. The hotter the water is, the more energy the water has. The more energy the water has, the more its particles will move. Therefore, the the hotter water is, the more its particles move. Because the particles move more and faster, they 'bump into' more tea particles, which causes the tea particles to move more. The more the tea particles move, the quicker they will spread through the water and the quicker they can diffuse.

Why does a thick walled glass vessel cracks when hot water ispoured on it?
the water is heated up, its particles gain energy and move faster. this causes the particles to separate further apart. therefore, the volume of the the water increases. i.e. expands. and the thick-walled glass is notrigid enough to hold it. so it cracks.
Why would a milk bottle crack open if you pored boiling hot water in it?
The milk bottle would crack because the hot water would cause the glass particles to vibrate and move apart, this will make the glass expand from the heat and the glass will then shatter.
How do the particles in juice make it possible to pour?
The particles in a liquid are able to move around and change its shape so you can pour it into a glass. It is very simple if you think about it.

Water parts that do not move forward with a wave?
its the particles in the water
