Capillary attraction - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The movement of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
water into and through small openings. This helps plants to get
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
water from their roots up to their leaves
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Surface tension - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The force between
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
water molecules at the surface of the drop. Insects use this force
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
to "stand on" the water.
|\ |\ |\ |\
Polarity - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔One side of a water molecule
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
has a slight positive charge and the other side has a slight
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
negative charge. These charges cause water molecules to attract
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
other substances. This is similar to static cling one see in a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
clothes dryer. The polarity of a water molecule gives it the ability
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
to dissolve most earth materials.
