Is the interaction between wax paper and water cohesive or adhesive?
This is a cohesive interaction.
What makes water both adhesive and cohesive?
Surface tension does.
What is adhesive water?
There is no such thing as adhesive water.
When water is in a container the surface of the water is curved this curve is call?
Meniscus is the curve at the surface of a liquid in a cylinder. It is caused by the adhesive and cohesive properties of water molecules. (Meniscus was incorrectly spelled in an earlier answer as "miniscus.")
What is an easy way to remember adhesive and cohesive?
Adhesion is the attraction bettween molecules of different substances. Cohesion is the attaction between moleculesof the same substances.
Is the interaction between wax paper and water cohesive or adhesive?
This is a cohesive interaction.
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.
Is the concrete is adhesive or cohesive?
adhesive
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
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.
What rhymes with cohesive?
Adhesive, decisive, inconclusive.
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
Is carbon cohesive and adhesive?
no
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.
2 How can you explain Cohesion and adhesion in term of water molecules?
Water has both cohesive and adhesive forces. They are similar.The cohesive of water describes how the molecules of water are attracted to one another. We observe the cohesive forces of water when we see a drop of water sitting on a surface. The water does not spread because the molecules are attracted to one another. Surface tension of water is due to its cohesive properties.The cohesive forces of water are due to hydrogen bonding between molecules.Adhesive properties of water are how the molecules are attracted to other substances. We observe the adhesive forces of water when we see the edge of water in a glass is attracted up on the sides of the glass. This is most apparent when the diameter of the glass vessel is less than a centimetre. It is called a meniscus. Trees use this adhesive property of water to help suck water up from the ground. If the diameter of the glass is small enough, as in a glass capillary, the water will rise up the tube by itself due to adhesive forces.
Does water bead up on wax paper because its cohesive forces are greater than its adhesive forces?
Yes.
