How do Geckos Walk on Walls?
Cohesive Forces Adhesive Forces
7
Cohesive Forces Forces of attraction between identical molecules
8
Pull water into spherical drops
Falls as drops not a mist
9
Forces of attraction between different molecules
Adhesive Forces Forces of attraction between different molecules The “glue” that sticks different things together
10
Water Holds water to surfaces
11
Liquid’s shape is determined by strength of cohesive and adhesive forces
12
If cohesive force is stronger…
Water drop will be rounder Polar Water + Nonpolar Wax Surface
13
If adhesive force is stronger…
Water drop will be flatter Polar Water + Polar Glass Surface
14
What is a Meniscus? curvature of a liquid's surface within a container
Cohesion and adhesion explain why this happens
15
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.
16
net downward pull no net pull
17
How does this explain the meniscus curving up or down?
18
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
19
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

A little water fun!
21
How many drops can fit on a penny?
Each person will receive a penny, an eye dropper, and a cup of water Make a Guess!
22
Results Did you guess too high, too low, or right on?
Why is this able to happen?
23
How many pennies will fit in the full glass of water before it overflows?
Each person will guess – whoever is closest gets 4 extra credit points!
24
So how do geckos walk on walls?
Spatulae Adhesion Dipole-induced dipole
