[CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
|
Surface tension is caused by ____
|
strong cohesion between water molecules
|
|
strong adhesion between the water molecules
|
|
condensation
|
|
water cycle
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The cohesion force exists between hydrogen atoms and cohesion holds hydrogen bonds together to create surface tension on water.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cohesion holds hydrogen bonds together to create surface tension on water. Since water is attracted to other molecules, adhesive forces pull the water toward other molecules.
Detailed explanation-3: -Surface tension is due to the cohesive forces between the molecules of the given liquid.
Detailed explanation-4: -Water has an unusually high surface tension because of the relatively high attraction of water molecules to each other through a web of hydrogen bonds, water has a higher surface tension than most other liquids.
