What is it called when water sticks to different substances?
Adhesion is when water molecules stick to other molecules
The attractive force between 2 bodies of different substances that are in contact with each other?
This force is called adhesion and is the attraction between molecules of different substances. Adhesion is important in everyday phenomena such as water sticking to glass or a gecko sticking to a wall.
How does adhesion in water benefit plants?
no
The combined force of attraction among water molecules and with the molecules of surrounding materials is called?
The combined force of attraction among water molecules and with the molecules of surrounding materials is called adhesion.
What will happen to the water level in a straw when the balloon is filled with tap water and then squeezed?
When the balloon is filled with water, it creates pressure on the water inside the straw, causing the water level in the straw to rise. When the balloon is squeezed, the pressure is increased, causing the water level in the straw to rise even further due to the increased force.
How do adhesion and cohesion explain capillary action?
Surface tension is related to the cohesive properties of water. Capillary action however, is related to the adhesive properties of water. You can see capillary action 'in action' by placing a straw into a glass of water. The water 'climbs' up the straw. What is happening is that the water molecules are attracted to the straw molecules. When one water molecule moves closer to a the straw molecules the other water molecules (which are cohesively attracted to that water molecule) also move up into the straw. Capillary action is limited by gravity and the size of the straw. The thinner the straw or tube the higher up capillary action will pull the water.
What special property of water allows you to drink liquids with a straw?
cohesion and adhesion
What is it called when water sticks to different substances?
Adhesion is when water molecules stick to other molecules
When water defies gravity and climbs tubes it is called?
It is still called water. The phenomenon that it's demonstrating is called capillary action.
How does water create capillary action?
Becouse of its strong dipole and hydrgen bonds. Water has a property of cohesion and adhesion so it sticks to itself yet climbs the tree using adhesion. Although, in the lab water cannot be replicated to climb as high as trees such as redwoods and even smaller trees like pines. The most it can climb in lab is 23ft. It is still a mystery.
Why does the straw bend in the glass of water?
The bending of the straw in a glass of water is due to refraction of light. When light passes from air into water, it changes speed and direction, causing the apparent bending of the straw. This phenomenon is called refraction.
What is the term given to something the is attracted to water?
When water is attracted to water it is called cohesion. When water is attracted to other materials, it is called adhesion. This occurs because water is polar.
The attraction among molecules of different substances is called?
An attraction between substances of the same kind is called cohesion. However, if it occurs in water, then it is known as capillary action.
What term describes the attraction of one water molecule toward another?
When water is attracted to other water molecules it is called cohesion. When water is attracted to other substances it is called adhesion.
What is the above property of water is called?
The above property of water is called anomalus
What is it called when water molecules sticks together?
adhesion - when different molecules stick together (water to clothes) cohesion - when molecules of the same type stick together (water to water)
What property causes the cohesion of water molecules that moves water through a plant against the force of gravity?
Transporting water molecules up high in tall trees is done with cohesion along with adhesion of water creating a column of water in the xylem(tube) of trees helping push it upward to the leaves up high. This is helped by evaporation.
