If you place the corner of a paper towel into a droplet of water, the water moves across the paper towel. Which of the following would best explain the movement of the water?
A) Surface tension allows molecules to form a bubble within the fibers of the paper towel and be absorbed.
B) Cohesion between the polar ends of the water molecules and the carbons in the paper towels allow water to be absorbed.
C) Cohesion of the water molecules to other water molecules from a chain that is absorbed by the paper towel.
D) Ionic bonding between the water and the paper towel allow water to be absorbed.
Answer: C) Cohesion of the water molecules to other water molecules from a chain that is absorbed by the paper towel.
