Question

Which best explains the surface tension of water?

Answer 1

B.) Cohesion

Explanation:

The best term that fits the description of the term surface tension of water is cohesion.

Cohesion is the intermolecular forces that holds together the particles of liquids and solids.

• Surface tension is a phenomenon in liquids that causes them to come together more and shrink on the surface.
• Surface tension is made possible by cohesive forces between water- water molecules.
• Adhesion is between different molecules like water and glass.
• In capillary action, a liquid is able to rise up in a column
• Sublimation is a phase change from solid to gas.
