 Paragraph for Question Nos. 13 to 14
The force of interaction between the molecules of same substance is called cohesive force while force of
interaction between molecules of different substances is called adhesive force. Both the forces are
attractive and have a range of about 10 Ǻ. If we consider a molecule A well inside a liquid, we find that it
is equally attracted by the surrounding molecules in all the directions (within a sphere of radius10 Ǻ) and
so it does not experience any resultant force. On or near the surface of a liquid, the molecules do not
exist on the free side and so a molecule (say B) experiences a resultant force vertically downwards into
the liquid. For this reason, the molecules of the surface have a tendency to go into the liquid. Thus, the
surface tends to contract and gives rise to surface tension.
As surface molecules like B experience a net downward force of cohesion and have tendency to go
down, so in increasing the area of the surface more molecules are to be shifted to the surface from inside.
Thus, more mechanical work will have to be done against the net downward force of cohesion. This work
is stored by the molecules in the surface as potential energy called free surface energy.
Furthermore, molecules like P, in contact with the liquid will stick to the solid surface, i.e. will meet it if the
force of adhesion A is greater than net force of cohesion C. The liquid will not wet the solid surface if C >
A.
Also, molecules like Q at the surface in contact with the solid will experience a net force of cohesion CR. If
adhesion A is greater than cohesion CR, the resultant force will be F. As the liquid can’t support
tangential force, F must be perpendicular to the surface of the liquid. So, the meniscus will be concave
and the angle of contact will be acute (<90) [see figure (a)]. However, if adhesion is lesser than
cohesion, the resultant force F will be directed into the liquid and so the meniscus (which is
perpendicular to F as liquid cannot support tangential force) will be convex and the angle of contact will
be obtuse (>90) [see figure (b)].
