What molecular attraction causes surface of the water to curve inside a glass?

The force of adhesion between water and glass molecules is greater than the force of cohesion between two water molecules.
This causes the surface of the water to be curved. This curved surface is called a meniscus.

Why cant the markings on conical flasks and beakers be used to correctly measure out volumes?
The characteristic of the attraction between water and glass (hydrophilia?) and the water's surface tension causes some of the water at the edges of the surface to partially climb the inside of the container, making it difficult to determine from the side where the water level actually is.
What usually occurs inside a material instead of at the surface?
it absorption

How does a solid dissolve into a liquid?
a solid dissolves into a liquid because of the free inter molecular spaces in between the molecules of the liquid or the solvent......... for example if we dissolve sugar in water and stirr the water , the sugar dissapears . this happens because the molecules of water are not yery closely placed and the sugarparticles go and fit inside the molecular spaces.......
What causes rechargeable batteries to die?
Molecular degradation of the structure and substances inside the battery.
What causes the magma inside a volcano to rise to award the surface?
The molten magma increases in pressure (like a pressure cooker at home) until it is forced towards the surface.
What stress causes volcanoes?
pressure building up inside of a the earth that is released by volcanoes that is connected below our earth's surface.
What causes fault lines to move inside the Earth's surface?
When sea-floor spreading occurs or magma rising to earths surface making new crust ( I think )
Where do receptor molecules end up after receptor-mediated endocytosis?
Its NOT 'on the inside surface of the cell membrane' Probably ' on the inside surface of the vesicle'
Do people go inside the colosseum?
Of course, it's a historical attraction.
How can a material be porous but also impermeable?
A material can be porous but also impermeable due to its surface structure. The molecular level can allow molecules of air to pass through, but not water molecules.many materials, such as GoreTex, has a surface structure, that at a molecular level can allow molecules of air to pass thru but not molecules of water. This way, you can be protected from falling rain, but also have a material that will "breathe" and wont keep you feeling muggy inside.
Are there any toilets in tower bridge?
Yes. The inside is now a tourist attraction.
How does the transfer of energy inside earth affect its surface?
The transfer of energy inside the Earth effects its surface by warming it.
What are the small packed proteins inside the molecular structure of DNA called?
Histones
What is the relation between density and hardness?
density has to do with the molecular structure and molecular mass. hardness is the compacting value of the molecules inside the object. PREFFERABLY PLUTONIUN!!
