  4. Hydrogen bonding

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What type of surface interaction is primarily responsible for the adhesion of paint to a wall?
  • Step 1: Understand that adhesion is how well paint sticks to a surface.
  • Step 2: Learn that surfaces have tiny particles that can interact with each other.
  • Step 3: Know that Van der Waals forces are weak attractions between these particles.
  • Step 4: Realize that these weak forces help the paint stick to the wall.
  • Step 5: Conclude that even though Van der Waals forces are weak, they are important for adhesion.
