1
The wettability of a surface by a liquid depends primarily on
- density
- angle of contact between the surface and the liquid
- viscosity
- surface tension
Answer
(2) angle of contact between the surface and the liquid
Solution
As per NCERT, when the angle of contact is acute ( < 90 ) the liquid spreads on and wets the surface (water on glass), and when is obtuse ( > 90 ) it forms drops and does not wet it (mercury on glass).
wettability depends primarily on the angle of contact between the surface and the liquid.
