When drops of mercury are placed on a clean surface of glass, they merge and become single drop explain.
When drops of mercury are placed on a clean surface of glass, they merge and become single drop explain.
The adhesive force between mercury molecules and glass molecules are weak, while cohesive force between molecule - molecule of mercury are strong. Hence, mercury drop does not stick to the surface of glass and gathered to form a large drop.
