List 3 basic liquids that do not wet a glass?
Mercury: Due to its high surface tension, mercury does not wet glass and forms droplets on its surface. Carbon tetrachloride: This liquid has low surface tension, which causes it to bead up on glass rather than spread out. Liquid bromine: Like mercury, liquid bromine does not wet glass due to its high surface tension property.
What are the advantages of mercury as a thermometeric liquid?
As mercury has a low specific heat yet is a good conductor of heat it has been the choice for thermometers. The ease of reading is due to the fact that the mercury does not wet the walls of the glass.
Why Mercury is spherical in shape liquid?
The reason mercury droplets are spherical is because they do easily wet other surfaces. For this reason, mercury forms spheres, which have the smallest possible ration of surface area to volume.
What is the importance of thermometric liquids?
Thermometric liquid is the liquid found in the thermometer that help in the up and down movement of the temperature.
Are wet-wipes considered liquid?
Wet wipes are not considered a liquid in their solid form, but they can be classified as liquids if they are wet or soaked with liquid. It's important to check with airline and transportation regulations, as they might have specific guidelines on carrying wet wipes.
What is strange about metal mercury?
Is a very heavy liquid and doesn't wet glass
What liquid is not wet?
The "wetting" that happens when an object is immersed in a liquid depends on the surface energy of the object and the capilary forces in action on the surface of the liquid. for example mercury will not "wet" glass but water can wet the same glass.

What is a good slogan for mercury?
its density makes it quite weighty periodically its number eighty
Your grout looks wet even though it is not what should you do?
It might be the sealer you used.
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.
Is your face oily if it is shiny but not wet?
Not always. Sometimes in a store you could get oil pads which get rid of the oil. Your face could be oily though even though its not wet and it is shiny.

Can mercury wet a substance?
Mercury is a metal unlike water which have hydrogen bonding. Mercury does not wet most substances, because of its high cohesion and low adhesion to the glass mercury will not wet glass. Cohesion, along with adhesion(attraction between unlike molecules), can help explain mercury phenomena. Mercury has a surface energy over 6 times greater than that of water so there is a much greater attractive force between the atoms of mercury than between the molecules of water, so mercury does not wet glass.
