yes
Water molecules attract the opposite poles of other polar molecules through poles present in water itself.
Molecules will always attract each other unless they are negative. In which case tthey will push each other away.
Adhesion.
The meniscus (plural: menisci, from the Greek for "crescent") is the curve in the upper surface of a liquid to the surface of the container or another object. It can be either convex or concave. A convex meniscus occurs when the molecules have a stronger attraction to each other (cohesion) than to the material of the container (adhesion). This may be seen between mercury and glass in barometers and thermometers. Conversely, a concave meniscus occurs when the molecules of the liquid attract those of the container's, causing the surface of the liquid to cave downwards. This can be seen in a glass of water. One can over-fill a glass with mercury and produce a convex meniscus that rises above the top of the glass, due to the vacuum created with the airtight substance.
adhesion
Cohesion and adhesion differ because cohesion is an attraction between molecules of the same substance. Adhesion is an attraction between molecules of different substances.Adhesion is the intermolecular attraction between 'unlike-molecules' (usually referred to the attraction or joining of two different objects of fluids to each other).Cohesion is the intermolecular attraction between 'like-molecules' (usually referred to the strength with which the particles of an object of fluid attract to each other).== == == ==
The attraction between water molecules and another substance is called adhesion. An example of this phenomenon is the absorption of water by a towel. Water molecules are also attracted to each other by cohesion. Adhesion and cohesion of water are both caused by the polarity of water molecules. Molecules are said to be polar if they have opposite electrical charges at different ends of the molecule. Nonpolar molecules have none or evenly distributed charges (oil is an example of a nonpolar substance). Since opposite charges attract, water is attracted to other polar (or ionic) substances.

yes
Because the water molecules attract each other more strongly than they are attracted to the substances around them. (Cohesion is greater than adhesion).
cohesion
Water is a polar molecule and thus when a glass tube or any other tube with polar molecules is placed in water, the water molecules will attract the sides of the tube and overcome gravity. The property of water to attract the sides of the tube is called adhesion and the reason water isn't only on the sides but in the middle too is because of cohesion. Cohesion is water's ability to attract and hydrogen bond with itself so the water molecules on the sides of the tube attract other water molecules creating a network that reaches all the way across the tube.
Water molecules attract the opposite poles of other polar molecules through poles present in water itself.
