Question

1. surface tension a needle floating on water 9. cohesion water droplets 10. adhesion a paper towel absorbing water identify each of the following images as an example of cohesion, adhesion, or surface tension.

Explanation:

• Surface tension allows a needle to float on water as it creates a 'skin - like' effect on the water surface.
• Cohesion is the attraction between like - molecules, which causes water droplets to form spherical shapes.
• Adhesion is the attraction between different molecules. A paper towel absorbing water is due to adhesion between water molecules and the paper fibers.

Answer:

1. Surface tension
2. Cohesion
3. Adhesion
