Capillary action is the process where water rises in narrow tubes against gravity, resulting from the cohesive and adhesive properties of water molecules.

| Front | Capillary action 2.1.2(a) |
|---|---|
| Back | -cohesion between water molecules allow molecules to stick together, adhesion occurs between water molecules and other polar molecules -effects of these result in capillary action ( process where water can rise up a narrow tube against gravity) |
