Mercury has greater cohesion (where molecules are attracted to like substances) than adhesion (where molecules are attracted to unlike substances).

ANS 2:

In glass, mercury's meniscus is up because its atoms have greater attraction for themselves than they do for the walls of the glass. You could expect mercury's meniscus to be downward in a tube made from lead...right up to the point that it amalgamates with the lead and the tube dissolves.

What you call the point when a curve changing from concave upward to concave downward?

The point when a curve changes from concave upward to concave downward is called the inflection point. It is the point where the curve transitions from being curved "upwards" to being curved "downwards" or vice versa. At the inflection point, the rate of change of the curve's curvature changes sign.
