Water wets the walls of its glass container due to the fact that

  • cohesive force is greater than adhesive force

  • cohesive force is equal to the adhesive force

  • adhesive force is greater than the cohesive force

  • cohesive and adhesive forces form action-reaction pair


C.

adhesive force is greater than the cohesive force

Water wets the walls of its glass container because the adhesive force between water molecules and glass molecules is greater than the cohesive force between the water molecules.
