When water defies gravity and climbs tubes it is called?
It is still called water. The phenomenon that it's demonstrating is called capillary action.
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 does hot water produce water vapour?
Water has a tendency to evaporate. In general, the hotter the water, the faster it will evaporate. This is because if the water is hotter, the water molecules move faster, and have more energy per molecule. This makes it easier for them to escape the water surface.
What property of water allows liquids to climb?
This is due to capillary action and it found usually in tiny tubes. If the water wets the sides of the tube, it will rise. Water is said to be "sticky" and will adherd to surfaces and to other water molecules.
The force that draws water up narrow tubes against the force of gravity is a?
It is called capillary action
Is the tendency of water molecules to attract one another due to polarity is called ionic bonding?
NO. It is called cohesion.
The tendency of molecules of the same kind to stick together is called?
This depends. If the molecules are of different kinds (ie: Water and Glass), then it is called adhesion. If they are of the same kind, it is called cohesion.The tendency of molecules of the same kind to stick to one another is known as cohesion. This is what keeps the molecules together a good example being in water.
What is the tendency of water molecules to stick together?
cohesion
What is Tendency of water molecules to stick together is?
...
The tendency of water molecules to stay close to each other as a result of hydrogen bonding?
This is called hydrogen bonding.
Whta is capillary water?
The capillary effect in water is the tendency for water to travel up a surface such as a tube. It does this because water molecules are attracted to each other which also causes the phenomenon called surface tension.
The tendency of water molecules to attract one another due to polarity is calle?
Cohension
The tendency of molecules to move along their concentration gradient from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration?
Diffusion generally and called osmosis for the diffusion of water.
What are the transportation tubes found in plants called?
There are two types of transportation tubes in plants called the xylem and the phloem. The xylem transports water and minerals throughout the plant, while the phloem transports the sugars and other molecules made in the leaves due to photosynthesis throughout the plant.
What is the natural tendency of molecules to spread from an are of high concentration to low concentration?
Diffusion. If this happens to a water molecule, it is called osmosis. Moving from lower to higher concentration requires active transport.
How do particles move in a glass of water?
I think you mean 'capillarity' which happens in very thin tubes because the adhesive forces between water and glass molecules is greater than the cohesive force between water molecules alone. In narrow tubes, this is enough to pull the liquid up the tube.
What is the tendency of water molecules to stick to molecules of another substance?
The ability of water molecules to stick to one another is due to cohesion. Cohesion is what gives rise to properties such as surface tension.
