Why does water stick to hand?
water exerts two types of force cohesive and adhesive force.Cohesive force exist between water molecules and adhesive force exist between water and other objects.therefore when our hand is dipped in water the adhesive force overtakes the cohesive force and thus water sticks to hand.Its same as the capillarity principle
What cohesive and adhesive forces draw water from the roots to the different parts of the plants?
Surface tension; Capillary action; and Turgor Pressure.
What special abilities do water molecules have because they are polar?
Because water molecules are polar, they exhibit both cohesion adhesive. They are cohesive because they stick to other water molecules, and adhesive because they also stick to other surfaces.
What makes water adhesive?
cohesion-- Water molecules stick to each other. adhesion-- Water molecules stick to other molecules. Water is a polar molecule because of oxygen is more electronegative. Hydrogen bonds create surface tension and result it water's cohesive and adhesive properties. Hydrophobic = repel water Hydropholic = affinity for water. ...... hahaha XD
Why mercury falls in capillary tube?
because,the adhesive force of mercury in more compared to the cohesive force which acts on a capillary tube. that's why mercury falls in capillary tube
Is water cohesive or adhesive?
Cohesive
Is the concrete is adhesive or cohesive?
adhesive
What rhymes with cohesive?
Adhesive, decisive, inconclusive.
Is the interaction between wax paper and water cohesive or adhesive?
This is a cohesive interaction.
Use the word cohesive in a sentence?
The team presented a cohesive plan for the project, demonstrating their strong unity and organization.
If water spreads out on a glass plate is this an example or cohesive or adhesive force?
Both, the water molecules are cohesive to each other, and the outer water molecules are adhesive to the table surface.
What makes water both adhesive and cohesive?
Surface tension does.
Why does water drop spread on glass surface while mercury does not?
Water has stronger adhesive forces than adhesive forses. Mercury on the other hand has stronger cohesive forces than adhesive. cohesive forces hold molecules of the same substance together , vice-versa for adhesive forces
What are some forces that can act when in contact?
cohesive force and Adhesive force
Water beads up on wax paper because its cohesive forces are greater than the adhesive forces?
Yes, water beads up on wax paper because its cohesive forces are greater than the adhesive forces.
Can you give some sentences using the word cohesive?
Water molecules are both cohesive and adhesive: they can stick together or stick to other surfaces.
What is a cohesive reaction?
Cohesive reaction is the process where an adhesive goes through a molecular change. This molecular change creates a new material or substance.
