What do cohesion surface tension and adhesion have in common?
all are properties related to hydrogen bonding.
The attraction between unlike substances is?
Adhesion is attraction between unlike substances.
Cohesion and adhesion are?
Information used from Prentice Hall Biology book from the year 2006. Cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same substance. Due to hydrogen bonding water is very cohesive. Water's cohesion causes molecules on the surface of the water to be drawn inward causing "surface tension". This property allows insects to walk on water. Adhesion is the attraction between molecules of different substances. Adhesion causes water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity for example the forces that draw water out of the roots of the plants and up into its stems and leaves, this is called capillarity.
What are the properties of water what contribute to water moving up and through a plant?
Two: cohesion, where water molecules are attracted to each other, and adhesion, where they are attracted to a different surface. Think of water molecules as people wanting to climb out of a well: people leading the way up are grabbing the side walls (adhesion) and also pulling other people up (cohesion). This adhesion and cohesion are due to water molecules hydrogen-bonding with each other and with the tubes in the plant.
The attraction among molecules of different substances is called?
An attraction between substances of the same kind is called cohesion. However, if it occurs in water, then it is known as capillary action.
How do differences in surfaces affect the adhesion of tape?
How is differences in surface affect the adhesion f tape? Does the type of surface affect the adhesion of tape?
What is surface tension a measure of?
adhesion
Do different surfaces affect the adhesion of tape?
Yes, the adhesion between tape and a surface depends on the nature of the surface. Adhesion results from the attraction between molecules in the adhesive and molecules on the surface. Some materials, like wood allow for more of this attraction than substances like metal. Thus, the amount of adhesion depends on the surface as well as the adhesive on the tape.
How does adhesion and cohesion results to the formation of a meniscus?
if adhesion>cohesion, concave meniscus from out if ahesion<cohesion, convex if adhesion=cohesion, flat surface
What kind of surface will adhesion of tape work better on?
rough surface
What property of water allows it to stick to a dry surface such as a wooden countertop?
Adhesion is what allows water to stick.
What type of forces are involved with surface tension?
adhesion and cohesion
How does groundwater come up to the surface naturally?
cohesion and adhesion
Which property of water causes a curved surface?
Adhesion is the property of water causes the curved surface
What are examples of adhesion and cohesion?
cohesion: water's cohesion causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops pf water form beads on a smooth surface. adhesion: adhesion between water and glass causes water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity ice formingon the surface of water bodies in winter
How are cohesion and adhesion similar Different?
Adhesion is when the surface of one thing sticks to the surface of another thing. Cohesion is when the parts of one thing stick to each other. Both words have the idea of things sticking together, but adhesion is two different things whereas cohesion is the parts of a single thing.
What do cohesion surface tension and adhesion all have in common with reference to water?
Hydrogen Bonding
