Question

A very small amount of water on placing over a clean glass pale forms and oval shaped drop?

Answer 1

Answer:

A very small amount of water on placing over a clean glass plate forms an oval shaped drop. The force of attraction between the molecules of water, that is, the force of cohesion is far less than the force of adhesion between the molecules of water and the glass plate and hence it takes an oval shape.
