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 is the weak attractive forces which exist between water molecules?
almost positive they are Vander waals forces
How does cohesion help water and minerals flow?
cohesion helps water and minerals flow because... water molecules cling to each other as a result of a force called cohesion cling to molecules of other substances, too , and this force is calledadhesion. This forces water to climb up tubes of xylem tissue.
What type of bond between the atoms forming water molecules?
Hydrogen bonds are the strongest intermolecular force between water molecules, it occurs between a negatively charged oxgen atom of one water molecule and the positively charged hydrogen atom. This is the strongest inter molecular force there is.
Why does water stick to hand?
water exerts two types of force cohesive and adhesive force.Cohesive force exist between water molecules and adhesive force exist between water and other objects.therefore when our hand is dipped in water the adhesive force overtakes the cohesive force and thus water sticks to hand.Its same as the capillarity principle
What is the attractive force between water molecules known as?
This is an intermolecular attraction of water molecules, associated by hydrogen bonds.
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 is cohesive energy?
Adhesion: attractive force between 2 particles in different substances, like water and glass molecules Cohesion: attractive force that holds molecules of a single substance together, like the surface tension on water
What happens to the amount of attractive force between two water molecules if they moved apart from each other?
they become weaker but if they get closer they get strongerThe attractive forces between any two particles are categorized as field forces. The field force is proportional to the inverse square of the distance between the two particles(F=1/R^2). As the two water molecules travel further away the attractive forces will decrease dramatically. If you double the distance the force will decrease by a factor of four.
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 an attractive force between different substances such as water and glass?
friction
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.
Why water has this additional intermolecular force?
Hydrogen bonds between molecules
Why does water wet glass and mercury does not?
Water wets glass because the force of adhesion between the glass molecules and water molecules is greater than the force of cohesion between the water molecules and glass molecules. Mercury does not wet glass because the force of cohesion is greater than the force of adhesion
Why does water have a meniscus?
Surface Tension. this is caused by a cohesive force between the polarized water molecules.
Why does a concave meniscus form when water is in a graduated cylinder?
The force between glass and water are stronger than between water molecules
