What is surface tension?

• The tightness across the surface of water

• The force that causes water to stick to itself very easily

• The attraction of one substance to another unlike substance

• The ability to dissolve just about anything

What is cohesion?

• The force that causes water to stick to itself very easily

• The ability to dissolve just about anything

• The attraction of one substance to another unlike substance

What is adhesion?

• The ability to dissolve just about anything

• The tightness across the surface of water

• The force that causes water to stick to itself very easily

• The attraction of one substance to another unlike substance

What is the solvent in a solution?

• The part of a solution present in a lesser amount and dissolved by the solvent
