Why do molecules at the surface of a liquid behave differently from molecules in the interior of the liquid?
In the interior the intermolecular forces of attraction is equal in all directions but the molecules at the surface of liquid experiences unequal intermolecular forces of attraction. the molecules at the surface are free so the adsorb liquid or gaseous molecules
Whats the difference between adhesion and cohesion?
Adhesion is the attraction between two molecules of different substances.cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same substances.
What are the forces of attraction between the particles of a liquid?
Surface tension .
The molecules at the surface of liquid water have greater attraction to each other than the molecules in the interior of the water because?
From wikipedia:"The cohesive forces among liquid molecules are responsible for the phenomenon of surface tension. In the bulk of the liquid, each molecule is pulled equally in every direction by neighboring liquid molecules, resulting in a net force of zero. The molecules at the surface do not have other molecules on all sides of them and therefore are pulled inwards. This creates some internal pressure and forces liquid surfaces to contract to the minimal area."
What is adhesion stickiness?
the force of the attraction between the molecules of different substances is called adhesion.attraction between substances of different molecules

What is the attraction between water molecules and the molecules of solid surfaces called?
Adhesive forces is the attraction between a solid and liquid surface. The difference in strength is determined by the behavior of a liquid coming in contact with a solid.
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 do dimples make the the Mentos react with the coke?
the dimply surface in the mentos cause a polar attraction between the water molecules
What are the function of capillary?
the movement of a liquid along the surface of a solid caused by the attraction of molecules of the liquid to the molecules of the solid
Whats the difference between adhesion and cohesion?
Adhesion is the attraction between two molecules of different substances.cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same 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 forces of attraction between the particles of a liquid?
Surface tension .
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.

What is Adhesion and what is Cohesion?
Cohesion ia property of identical molecules to form agglomerates; a common example is the assembly of mercury from small bubbles into a larger one.Adhesion is the attraction between molecules of different chemical nature.
What is adhesion stickiness?
the force of the attraction between the molecules of different substances is called adhesion.attraction between substances of different molecules
