mercury compared to water?

Question

Would the top surface of mercury in a glass container be the same shape as the top surface of water in a similar container? Give the reason for your answers.

Answer 1

The "top surface" is called the meniscus. With water, the edges curve up because of capillary action. But mercury curves down because it has a relatively high viscosity.

Answer 2

Dear
I will say no, and physics say the same
Hg atoms are connected to each other far stronger than to glass .
this is the reverse situation of water.
