I think Hg does not wet the glass due to the virtue of cohesion as in the cohesion, atoms get together only with similar atoms of the same material.

Gaurav said:   1 decade ago
Yes I too also think that A. Is the right answer.

Aakash said:   10 years ago
It should be cohesion.

Barbie said:   9 years ago
Yes, I too think its due to cohesion property.

Ram said:   9 years ago
Yes, option A is right.

Sharad said:   9 years ago
Surface tension is due cohesion only. So it is same.

Waseem said:   8 years ago
You are right @Sharad.

Surface tension is only due to cohesive property of fluid.

Naga Dhuva said:   8 years ago
As per my opinion, the correct answer, Cohesion and Surface Tension: Both Option are correct.

Karan sharma said:   8 years ago
Surface tension is binary property Adhesion and cohesion. But main reason is cohesion behind it.

Sanjeev said:   8 years ago
As the cohesion is more than the adhesion so it doesn't wet the glass.

Angle of contact is obtuse.
