Question

Water can resist a greater external force than ethanol can. Which statement best describes this difference? Water has less capillary action than ethanol. Water has greater capillary action than ethanol. Water has lower surface tension than ethanol. Water has greater surface tension than ethanol.

Answer 1

Water can resist a greater external force than ethanol can. Which statement best describes this difference?

anwser- (Water has greater surface tension than ethanol.)

I just took the test

Answer 2

Water has greater surface tension than ethanol.

The external force is the impact by which an outer object has in contact with the object being described. The force that is stronger prevails in that collision. Physical properties are those which can be measured or observed without altering the composition of matter.
