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.

Water particles move in circles


Why do the tea particles spread out quicker in hot water then cold water?

This can be explained using particle theory. The hotter the water is, the more energy the water has. The more energy the water has, the more its particles will move. Therefore, the the hotter water is, the more its particles move. Because the particles move more and faster, they 'bump into' more tea particles, which causes the tea particles to move more. The more the tea particles move, the quicker they will spread through the water and the quicker they can diffuse.


How do the particles move in a glass of milk?

In a glass of milk, the particles are in constant motion due to thermal energy. The liquid milk molecules move randomly, colliding with each other and the glass walls. The fat and protein molecules in the milk can also contribute to the overall movement and texture of the liquid.


Why would a milk bottle crack open if you pored boiling hot water in it?

The milk bottle would crack because the hot water would cause the glass particles to vibrate and move apart, this will make the glass expand from the heat and the glass will then shatter.


How do the particles in juice make it possible to pour?

The particles in a liquid are able to move around and change its shape so you can pour it into a glass. It is very simple if you think about it.


Explain how the particles in an ice cube differ from the particles in a glass of water?

In an ice cube there are tighter and closer particles since ice cubes are a solid.But, a glass of WATER, meaning a liquid, doesn't have particles that close, maybejust a little apart. That's how they differ. Go to Sciencesource.ca for more informationon particle theory. Choose grade 7, and proceed.Additional response:They are colder.

What does sand placed in a glass of water form?

When sand is placed in a glass of water, it forms a mixture in which the sand particles are suspended in the water. Over time, the sand particles may settle at the bottom of the glass due to gravity, causing the water to become clearer.


When Diffusion of water in a glass with food coloring is known as?

Diffusion of water in a glass with food coloring is known as simple diffusion. This process occurs when molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, leading to an even distribution of food coloring particles in the water.


What happens to particles when you make a glass of squash?

When you make a glass of squash, the particles of the squash mix with the water. The particles dissolve and disperse evenly throughout the liquid, giving it flavor and color.

When a wave is created in a pond do the water particles move outward?

No water particles move outward. It appears so. Actually the water particle do up and down simple harmonic oscillation but successively. So it appears as if something move outward. Actually the distrubance moves and not the particle of the medium
