A hydrophilic surface is characterised by the contact angle at the water solid interface. The value of contact angle should be

  1. A \(>90^{\circ}\)
  2. B \( < 90^{\circ}\)
  3. C \(=90^{\circ}\)
  4. D \(=180^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( < 90^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For a hydrophilic surface, the contact angle at the water solid interface is less than \(90^{\circ}\) i.e., \( < 90^{\circ}\). Since, adhesive force between liquid and hydrophilic surface is very high. Hence, the value of contact angle should be less than \(90^{\circ}\).
