Question
1 multiple choice 1 point which property of water allows it to form large droplets on a penny without immediately spilling over? adhesion cohesion solubility capillary action 2 multiple choice 1 point which molecular force is mainly responsible for waters high surface tension? ionic bonding metallic bonding hydrogen bonding covalent bonding 3 multiple choice 1 point water rises higher in a thin glass tube than other liquids. this is an example of: capillary action surface tension vapor pressure density differences
For question 1:
- Adhesion is the attraction between different substances.
- Cohesion is the attraction between like - water molecules. This allows water to form droplets as water molecules stick to each other.
- Solubility is about a substance dissolving in another.
- Capillary action involves movement in narrow spaces due to adhesion and cohesion but is more about movement in tubes.
For question 2:
- Ionic bonding is between ions.
- Metallic bonding is in metals.
- Hydrogen bonding in water (between the hydrogen of one water molecule and the oxygen of another) creates strong intermolecular forces, which contribute to high surface tension.
- Covalent bonding is within the water molecule (O - H bonds), not the intermolecular force responsible for surface tension.
For question 3:
- Capillary action is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the help of, or even in opposition to, external forces like gravity. Water rising in a thin glass tube is a classic example of capillary action due to the combination of adhesion (water to glass) and cohesion (water to water).
- Surface tension is the "skin - like" property of the surface of a liquid.
- Vapor pressure is related to the tendency of a liquid to evaporate.
- Density differences are about mass per unit volume and not related to this rising phenomenon.
