Attractive force of cell walls of xylem for water molecules is termed as

The attractive forces between molecules of a molecular crystal are

A nozzle throws a stream of gas against a wall with a velocity v much larger than the thermal agitation of the molecules. After collision of the molecules with wall the magnitude of their velocity remains same. Also assume that the force exerted on the wall by the molecule is perpendicular to wall. (This is not strictly true for a rough wall.) Find the pressure exerted on the wall. (n = number of molecules per unit volume, m = mass of a gas molecule)

Water molecule is very polar. Polar end of molecule attracts opposite charges on another water molecule (acts like magnet). How will you explain this property of water with reference to upward movement of water ? Comment on the upward movement of water given the intermolecular hydrogen in water.

Cohesive force of water molecules is of the magnitude of (Dixon and Joly )
