What is the definition of cohesion force?
Cohesive force is the force of attraction between molecules of the same kind or of the same substance. Eg. cohesive force of attraction exists between water molecules
Which property allows water to stick to glass?
This is called adherence. It is the force of attraction between the water molecules and the glass molecules.
What is the definition of adhesion force?
Adhesion force is the force of attraction between molecules of different kind. Eg.adhesion force exists between the molecules of water and the molecules of its containing vessel.
What is the difference between specific gravity and gravity?
Specific gravity is the ratio of a substance's density to that of a standard, usually water. Gravity is a force of attraction between two bodies. We usually think of the gravitational force of the earth as the force of attraction for bodies on the surface of the earth, but all objects exert a tiny attraction for each other.
Why needle with grease float on water surface?
Surface tension. Translated that means that the attraction between the water molecules (to each other) is greater than the force (gravity) pushing the needle down.
Which force of attraction helps move water through plants?
hydrogen bonds
What helps move water up in plants?
Cohesion force among water molecules and transpiration pull.
What helps plants grow water or coffee?
Water helps plants grow
What is the definition of cohesion force?
Cohesive force is the force of attraction between molecules of the same kind or of the same substance. Eg. cohesive force of attraction exists between water molecules
What force helps water move through plants?
Capillary action, transpiration, and root pressure move water up through the plant.
What force enables the stem to absorb water?
Adhesion and Cohesion or cohesive attraction or cohesive force
What force helps move water up through plants?
Capillary action, transpiration, and root pressure move water up through the plant.
Why is it easier to spray water to which soap is added?
because of force of attraction
What is the biological importace of water's cohesive and adhesive properties?
As a group, hydrogen bonds hold water molecules together and this helps transport of water against gravity in plants. Also adhesion causes the attraction between water and plant cells for example and water is essential for cellular activities. Hope this helps!
Does water expand when heated and why?
Yes... When water is heated, the intermolecular force of attraction between water atoms become weak and they start losing the intermolecular force of attraction... at temperature known as boiling point of water this intermolecular force become so weak that water lose its state and converts into gasious state... but this expansion is not considerable... :)
Is the attraction between sodium chloride and water a intermolecular force of an intramolecular bond?
its basically the hydrogen bonding mainly responsible for this attraction.
At sea level water boils at 100 degrees Celsius while methane boils at negative 161 degrees Celsius Which has a stronger attraction between particles?
Water because water has the highest boiling point, < anything.
