Question

when water sticks to another substance, this is called... cohesion capillary action surface tension adhesion

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the definitions of the terms:

• Cohesion: Water sticking to water.
• Capillary action: Movement of water in narrow spaces due to adhesion and cohesion.
• Surface tension: Property of liquid surface due to cohesive forces.
• Adhesion: Water sticking to other substances.

So the term for water sticking to another substance is adhesion.

Answer:

D. adhesion (assuming the options are labeled A to D with A: cohesion, B: capillary action, C: surface tension, D: adhesion)
