Answer:
Forces between similar molecules are said to be <em>cohesive</em> while those between different types of molecules are said to be <em>adhesive</em>.
Water 'beads' due to its strong <em>cohesive</em> forces. The meniscus of water in a glass tube is <em>concave</em> because the <em>adhesive</em> forces are strong.
Explanation:
The water in a tube has stronger adhesive forces between the water and glass molecules, so the cohesive forces between water molecules are weaker. That makes the water 'ascend' through the tube, giving a concave form of the meniscus. Another example is mercury, which is the opposite. In this case, the cohesive forces are stronger than the adhesive ones, thus the meniscus is convex.

Here's what I get
Explanation:
It means that the heat comes directly at you without relying on any material to conduct it.
For example, you feel the heat from a campfire even if the wind is blowing crosswise to you and the fire.
Answer:
the stabilization of the negative charge in orbitals with higher s character
Explanation:
Acetylide anion is a carbon anion compound or popularly called carbanion. Now Acetylide anion is sp hybridized. However acetylide anion tends to be more acidic as we move from sp³ to sp, hence acidicity increases, which makes sp to have the highest acidity and become the most stable.
So, we can conclude that the acetylide anion is more acidic due to the stabilization of the negative charge in orbitals with higher s character and as the s character increases, acidic nature of acetylide anion also increases.
