cohesion-- Water molecules stick to each other.

adhesion-- Water molecules stick to other molecules.

Water is a polar molecule because of oxygen is more electronegative.

Hydrogen bonds create surface tension and result it water's cohesive and adhesive properties.

Hydrophobic = repel water

Hydropholic = affinity for water. ......

hahaha XD

What is responsible for the attraction between water molecules?

Water molecules are attracted to each other by 'cohesive force'. It is the force that holds a droplet of water together in a raindrop, or in a semi-spherical shape if dripped onto glass. Water is also affected by ' adhesive force' which causes the droplet on glass to adhere (stick ) to the glass as well. In a thin glass tube the adhesive force makes the water move upwards.


What is adhesive force?

Adhesive force is the attraction between molecules of different substances. It allows substances to stick together, such as water sticking to a glass surface. Adhesive force is important in processes like adhesion, where two different materials are held together.


What makes bandages stick?

Bandages stick to the skin because of the adhesive material on one side of the bandage. This adhesive is specially designed to create a bond with the skin's surface, providing a secure hold. The adhesive is non-toxic and hypoallergenic to prevent any irritations.


What are the adhesive used in plaster of Paris?

The adhesive used in plaster of Paris is water. When water is added to plaster of Paris powder, a chemical reaction occurs that causes the powder to transform into a thick paste that can then be applied to a surface before hardening.


What special abilities do water molecules have because they are polar?

Water molecules have special abilities due to being polar that include cohesive forces, where water molecules are attracted to each other, allowing water to form droplets; adhesive forces, where water molecules are attracted to other substances; and high surface tension, allowing some insects to walk on water.

What is adhesive water?

Adhesive water refers to water that forms hydrogen bonds with a surface, allowing it to adhere or stick to that surface. This property is often seen in adhesives and helps them bond or stick to different materials.


What makes water both adhesive and cohesive?

Water is both adhesive and cohesive due to its polar nature. Water molecules are polar, with a slight positive charge on the hydrogen atoms and a slight negative charge on the oxygen atom. This polarity allows water molecules to attract and stick to other substances (adhesion) and to each other (cohesion).

How can I effectively remove adhesive from a shower wall?

To effectively remove adhesive from a shower wall, you can try using a mixture of warm water and dish soap to soften the adhesive. Gently scrub the area with a sponge or cloth, and then rinse with clean water. If the adhesive is stubborn, you can also use a commercial adhesive remover following the manufacturer's instructions.

What makes water wet?

Water is a wetting liquid but Mercury is non wetting so not the all liquid are wetting it depends upon Adhesive and cohesive forces , the liquids having strong adhesive force than cohesive become absorbed on a solid surface and that surface becomes wet but the liquids having strong cohesive force can not absorbed on a solid surface so material remains dry and such liquids are non wetting liquids as Mercury, so water is wetting liquid due to its strong adhesive force.


Can you water the glue down to make it thinner and have the same adhesive effect?

How can I effectively clean adhesive off tiles?

To effectively clean adhesive off tiles, you can use a commercial adhesive remover or a mixture of warm water and vinegar. Apply the solution to the adhesive, let it sit for a few minutes, then scrub with a sponge or cloth. Rinse the area with clean water and dry it thoroughly. Repeat the process if necessary until the adhesive is completely removed.
