We are asked which of these diagrams, i or ii, do the adhesive forces between surface and liquid exceed the cohesive forces within the liquid.
When liquid to liquid cohesive force is stronger, the liquid will stick more to each other.
When liquid to surface adhesive force is stronger, liquid sticks more to the surface than itself.
In which of these diagrams, i or ii, do the adhesive forces between surface and liquid exceed the cohesive forces within the liquid?
