How do Geckos Walk on Walls? Cohesive Forces Adhesive Forces
Cohesive Forces Forces of attraction between identical molecules
Pull water into spherical drops Falls as drops not a mist
Forces of attraction between different molecules Adhesive Forces Forces of attraction between different molecules The “glue” that sticks different things together
Water Holds water to surfaces
Liquid’s shape is determined by strength of cohesive and adhesive forces
If cohesive force is stronger… Water drop will be rounder Polar Water + Nonpolar Wax Surface
If adhesive force is stronger… Water drop will be flatter Polar Water + Polar Glass Surface
What is a Meniscus? curvature of a liquid's surface within a container Cohesion and adhesion explain why this happens
Water is a polar molecule Within liquid water, each molecule's partial positive charge is attracted to its neighbor's partial negative charge. This is the origin of the cohesive forces within water.
net downward pull no net pull
How does this explain the meniscus curving up or down?
Concaves Up the Sides When the adhesive force of the liquid to the wall is stronger than the cohesive force of the liquid, the liquid is more attracted to the wall than its neighbors
Concaves Down the Sides When the cohesive force of the liquid is stronger than the adhesive force of the liquid to the wall, the liquid concaves down in order to reduce contact with the surface of the wall
