Cohesion: When things stick to each other (WATER)
Adhesion: When things stick to other things (ALSO WATER)
Surface Tension: a property of the surface of a liquid that causes it to behave as an elastic sheet. Think of it as the thing that helps insects to glide along the water. (ALSO WATER)

What do cohesion surface tension and adhesion all have in common with reference to water?
Hydrogen Bonding
What is surface tension a measure of?
adhesion
A consequence of the surface tension of water is?
The surface tension of water is responsible for the cohesive properties it exhibits. For example, capillary action is a consequence of surface tension.
What type of forces are involved with surface tension?
adhesion and cohesion
The pull on the surface of the liquids that allow liquids to form drops when they fall?
It is surface tension.
What makes water both adhesive and cohesive?
Surface tension does.
SURFACE TENSION?
Te tension on the surface of an object.
What do cohesion surface tension and adhesion have in common?
all are properties related to hydrogen bonding.
Why does water have a meniscus?
Surface Tension. this is caused by a cohesive force between the polarized water molecules.
Surface tension is directly proportional to?
Surface Tension Is Directly Proportional To Intermolecular Forces, Hydrogen Bonding & Viscocity
How does adding soap to water affect adhesion?
Soap is a non-polar molecule that breaks weak hydrogen bonds between water molecules, so it makes the water less cohesive.
What is surface tension.?
Surface tension is defined as the elasticlike force that exists at the surface.
