What characteristic of water causes water to stick to the side of a test tube?
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The characteristic of water that makes this liquid stick to the side of a test tube is called capillarity (Claim).

Explanation:

Water (H₂O) is a polar molecule with the ability to generate van der Waals forces, which is explained by the 4 hydrogen bonds it forms to bind to other substances. The consequence of the forces of the molecular bonds are four properties of H₂O, including surface tension, cohesion, adhesion and capillarity.

- <u>Claim</u>: The characteristic of water that makes this liquid stick to the side of a test tube is called capillarity.

- <u>Evidence</u>: Cohesion and adhesion of water are properties that come from the forces of the molecular bonds of water, and whose effect is the ability of water to wet surfaces and adhere to a tube that contains it, the latter due to capillarity. Capillarity also allows water to rise through the roots and stems of plants, through their thin vascular ducts.

- <u>Reasoning</u>: <u>cohesion</u> in water depends on the force of attraction between H₂O molecules, <u>adhesion</u> is the capacity of H₂O molecules to join other different molecules and —together with <u>surface tension</u>— make H₂O molecules close to the walls of a glass tube adhere to it, which represents capillarity.

The effect of capillarity is more evident when the test tube is of a smaller diameter, although capillarity and adhesion to its walls always exist, and to a greater degree than any other substance.

How does the introduction of invasive species such as the brown tree snake upset the stability of the legal system
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Invasive species compete for the same natural resources such as food and water which the native species also need for survival.

Explanation:

Invasive species upset the stability of the ecosystem because the prey in their new environment does not have the needed defense against them. They also upset the food chain, consume so much, and overpopulate in the new territory thus causing the extinction of the native species.

The introduction of brown tree snakes in Guam disrupted the ecological system as their population increased rapidly because their preys in this new environment lacked the ability to defend themselves against the brown tree snakes. For this reason, more than twelve native birds in the Guam Islands went into extinction. They also consumed the natural resources needed for the survival of the native species.
