Question

Name the following-
Attraction of water molecules towards the narrow spaces.

Answer 1

Explanation: Capillary action is the ability of a liquid to rise against gravity in a narrow tube or into a small space through a narrow opening. This takes place because of the forces of cohesion (attraction between molecules of the same substance) and adhesion (attraction between molecules of different substances).

Answer 2

Answer:

Capillary action

Explanation:

The capillary action pertains to the movement of a liquid through a narrow space as a result of the forces of cohesion, adhesion, and surface tension. Cohesion is the sticking together of alike molecules whereas adhesion is the sticking together of unlike molecules. Surface tension is the intermolecular attraction that pulls the molecules of the liquid inward from the surface resulting in the least surface area possible. These forces work together and produce a capillary action. If a capillary tube is made of glass or any other substance that is polar, water will spontaneously climb up inside it without having to be pumped in any way. The smaller the tube, the higher the water climbs. The attraction is so great between the water molecules and the molecules of the tube that water will climb in defiance of the force of gravity.
