CHM131 Chapter 3 Chemical Bonds and Water
Gravity is shown by the water drops beading up at the bottom of the pine needles trying to fall to
the center of the Earth
The property of adhesion here is counteracting gravity, at least so far. Adhesion causes the water
to be sticky to the pine needle, thus preventing it from falling off the needle.
Cohesion is seen in the actual water drop—the water molecules stick to each other, forming a drop.
