Surface tension
What property of water is attracted to itself?

When you put a stick in water and remove it the stick is wet When you put a stick in mercury and remove it the stick is dry The reason for this is that adhesive forces are greater?
between the stick and water

Why does water stick to copper pennies?
Water has two important qualities: cohesion and adhesion. Cohesion means that water "sticks" to itself, forming drops on a flat surface. Adhesion means that water sticks to other things, such as copper pennies. The water adheres to the coin and coheres to itself, forming a bulbous drop of water on the coin.
What is the biological exception to water being the universal solvent?
Many polar substances can dissolve in water. Lipids cannot dissolve in water because lipids are nonpolar, so there is no attraction between them. Water can stick to itself and other things. Water also expands when it freezes.
Does plastic wrap stick to itself?
