Capillarity is a result of surface tension.
Surface tension causes liquid surfaces to be concave or convex. Due to this, there is greater pressure on the concave side of the liquid meniscus. To make the pressures at the same height equal, the liquid in the capillary rises or falls.

What is the property of water that makes it possible for rocks to skip on its surface?
surface tension
In surface tension what makes the water rise?
because of gravity
How does surface tension affect your environment?
Surface tension affects everyone's environment in many ways. Surface tension is the property of water that makes life to exist as we are accustomed. Surface tension also makes our body cells functional.
What is the effect of detergent on the surface tension of milk?
since milk has water as a main component, water has surface tension as the forces adhesion( sticks to stuff like the side of the glass) are stronger that the cohesion (makes water keep to itself) forces
What makes the surface tension of vinegar the way it is?
The surface tension of vinegar is due to the cohesive forces between the molecules of vinegar. These forces cause the molecules at the surface of the liquid to be pulled inward, creating a "skin" on the surface. The presence of acetic acid in vinegar also contributes to its surface tension properties.

surface tension
In surface tension what makes the water rise?

What makes some liquids have a greater surface tension than others?
The surface tension is primarily due to the arrangement of electrons of the molecules that comprise the liquid.
What makes a needle to float in water?
A needle can float on water due to surface tension. When the needle is carefully placed on the surface of the water, its weight is not enough to break the surface tension created by the water molecules, causing it to float.
What property of water makes it possible for some insects he skate across the surface of a river or lake?
surface tension

How are volts and amperes alike and different?
They are measures of electricity, which makes them similar. But volts are tension and amps are current, which makes them different.

How do insect use locomotion on water?
"Many of these insects are adapted to utilize the surface tension of water for locomotion. The surface tension of water makes it possible for some insects to stand on water and remain dry."
What makes a sponge absorbent?
The holes and craters in a sponge draw in moisture causing it to adhere to the surface of the sponge. It creates a surface tension and absorbs the liquid.
What makes the surface tension of vinegar the way it is?
The surface tension of vinegar is due to the cohesive forces between the molecules of vinegar. These forces cause the molecules at the surface of the liquid to be pulled inward, creating a "skin" on the surface. The presence of acetic acid in vinegar also contributes to its surface tension properties.
Why does soap allow you to blow bubbles?
because soup filled with are makes surface tension which holds it all together
