Procedure

Scientific TheoryThe water from one glass filled with water gets transferred to the glass without water due to a process called capillary action. The transfer occurs because of the fibre within the paper towel. Water is sticky because of cohesion. The positive and negative charges of the hydrogen and oxygen atoms that make up water molecules makes them attracted to each other. Also, it is due to adhesion because the water is attracted to the paper towel. This process occurs when the adhesion is stronger than the cohesive forces between the liquid molecules
