adhesion refers to the tendency of unlike molecules to bond with one another
Explanation:
Using ethyl 3-methylbutanoate as your only source of carbon and using any other reagents necessary, propose a stepwise synthesis for the following conversion.
I need help drawing the product formed in step three.
Thanks!
Adhesion is responsible for a meniscus and this has to do in part with water's fairly high surface tension. Water molecules are attracted to the molecules in the wall of the glass beaker. And since water molecules like to stick together, when the molecules touching the glass cling to it, other water molecules cling to the molecules touching the glass, forming the meniscus. They'll travel up the glass as far as water's cohesive forces will allow them, until gravity prevents them from going further. Cohesion is an intermolecular attraction between like molecules (other water molecules in this case).
