Because of the polarity of water, it exhibits a greater cohesion and adhesion to itself and other substances. This means that water holds on to itself more firmly than it does other substances.

Is capillary action a product of adhesion?

Yes, capillary action is a result of both adhesion and cohesion. Adhesion is the attraction between the liquid molecules and the surface of the container, while cohesion is the attraction between liquid molecules themselves. Capillary action occurs when the adhesive forces between the liquid and the container surface are stronger than the cohesive forces within the liquid.

Capillary action is a product of?

Capillary action is a product of the interplay between adhesive forces (attraction between the liquid and the solid surface) and cohesive forces (attraction between liquid molecules). This interaction allows liquids to move against gravity in narrow spaces, like in the stems of plants.


What is the relationships cohesion and capillary action?

Cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same substance. Capillary action is the tendency of water to rise in a thin tube. As one molecule of water is pulled up the plant's capillary, it pulls the other molecules up because of cohesion.
