Question

1. list 3 everyday examples of the cohesive and/or adhesive properties of water. cohesive adhesive

Explanation:

Cohesive properties of water involve water molecules sticking to each other. For example, water forming droplets. Adhesive properties involve water molecules sticking to other substances. For instance, water climbing up a narrow tube (capillary action) in plants (xylem vessels) as water adheres to the walls of the vessels. Another example is water spreading on a clean glass surface due to adhesion. Dew drops (cohesion - water molecules holding together to form drops) and water rising in a paper towel (adhesion of water to paper fibers and then cohesion within the water column as it moves up) are also common examples.

Answer:

• Cohesive example: Dew drops on grass.
• Adhesive example: Water climbing up xylem in plants.
• Another example (both cohesive and adhesive in a sense - water in a meniscus in a glass tube: adhesion to glass makes it climb up at the edges, cohesion keeps the water together in the column).
