The answer which best explains why water is able to "stick" to the side of glass is the following one - <span>Strong adhesive forces exist between glass and the water molecules.</span>

Explanation:

Adhesion means the ability to stick on the surface of another substance.

Water exhibits adhesive forces due to which it is able to stick to the glass.  Due to adhesive forces water spreads over the surface of glass and sticks to it.

These adhesive forces between the glass and water enough that it deforms the spherical shape of water molecules and help them stick to the surface of glass. As a result, adhesive forces overcome the repulsion between like molecules.

Hence, water is able to “stick” to the side of glass due to strong adhesive forces.

Consider a neutrally charged atom that has an atomic mass number of 80, which includes 35 neutrons. how many electrons does this
ivanzaharov [21]
Atomic mass number is the number of protons and neutrons. Subtract 80-35=45 is the number of protons. Because the atom is neutrally charged, the number of protons must equal the number of electrons, so there are 45 electrons.

What is the density of an object that has a mass of 28.1g and a volume of 96.2mL? Select the correct answer below: 0.292g/mL 270
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

0.292 g/mL.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of object = 28.1 g

Volume of object = 96.2 mL

Density of object =..?

Density of an object is simply defined as the mass of the object per unit volume of the object. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

Density = mass / volume

With the above formula, we can obtain the density of the object as follow:

Mass of object = 28.1 g

Volume of object = 96.2 mL

Density of object =..?

Density = mass / volume

Density = 28.1 / 96.2

Density of object = 0.292 g/mL

Thus the density of the object is 0.292 g/mL
