Mercury flows on a surface due to?
- Low cohesion
- High adhesion
- High cohesion
- None of these
Explanation
- Mercury has high cohesion (strong attraction between its own molecules).
- Mercury has low adhesion with most surfaces (weak attraction to other materials).
- Due to high cohesion and low adhesion, mercury forms rounded droplets and does not spread out like water.
- This behavior causes mercury to flow as droplets rather than wetting the surface.
- Mercury’s surface tension is very high, making it behave differently than most liquids.
