According to me, Cohesive force is the correct answer. Surface tension is also a reason because of cohesive force b/w surface molecules of mercury.

Mercury does not wet the glass because the cohesive force with the drops is stronger than the adhesive force between the drops and glass.

Actually, both answer (surface tension, cohesive) are correct because surface tension is caused by cohesive force b/w surface molecules.

Cohesion is the correct answer. Because cohesion means cohesion meansCLES OF SAME SUBSTANCE. And Mercury has more cohesive property.

Mercury is highly cohesive so it has a very high force of attraction between similar molecules. So mercury doesn't wet the glass.

Hello friends.
According to me it should be surface tension because surface tension is also cause of force of adhesion.

It should be force of adhesion, because force of adhesion works between two different surfaces.

Hello, guys.
My answer is cohesion because of attraction forces acting between same molecule.

Cohesion is absolutely right answer. Forces between mercury is greater than adhesion forces.

Surface tension is a result of cohesive forces. So, cohesion may be the suitable answer.
