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.

Which property of water results in a meniscus?
Adhesion due to the polarity of the water molecule.
What is capillary reaction?
Usually called 'capillary attraction' or 'capillary action' it refers to the way very thin tubes can draw water up themselves without any external changes in pressure or without suction being applied.
The combined force of attraction among water molecules and with the molecules of surrounding materials is called?
Capillary Action.
The combined force of attraction among water molecules and with the molecules of surrounding materials is called .?
Capillary Action.
How is polarity related to surface tension?
Water cohesion causes surface tension related to solubility. Polarity is also related to solubility in that polar substances dissolve better in polar solvents, such as water.
What flow drives when soldering coper pipes?
Capillary Attraction
Why is a solid moved along by a gas?
This is due to capillary action and the rules of solubility and polarity.
Which property of water results in a meniscus?
Adhesion due to the polarity of the water molecule.
What is a 8 letter word for polar attraction?
Polarity is an 8 letter word for polar attraction.
How are polarity and cohesion involved in the capillary action of a plant?
It draws narrow tubes inside plant stems to get the water.
What is capillary reaction?
Usually called 'capillary attraction' or 'capillary action' it refers to the way very thin tubes can draw water up themselves without any external changes in pressure or without suction being applied.
Which physical properties is not affected by an increase in intermolecular forces?
The correct answers are: Capillary attraction; Melting point; and Heat of vaporization. Stronger intermolecular forces increase capillary attraction, melting point, and the heat of vaporization. They have no bearing on conductivity and hardness.A.HardnessB.ConductivityC.Capillary attractionD.Melting pointE.Heat of vaporization

What we called the tendency of liquid molecules to rise spontaneously up tubes with narrow diameters?
That is capillary attraction.
