Practice question
Question
What determines whether a liquid wets a solid surface or forms droplets on it?
Explanation
The angle of contact (θ) determines wetting behavior: an acute angle (strong attraction to the solid) causes spreading (wetting), while an obtuse angle (weak attraction) leads to droplet formation, as explained in the surface tension section.
