Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Les grains constitutifs d'un sol sont chargés électriquement, et cette charge est négative en surface. Les molécules d'eau interstitielles sont également chargées. Les molécules d'eau se trouvant ionisées viennent se rassembler autour des grains de sol; comme l'attraction est forte, elles se trouvent très serrées les unes contre les autres, et finissent par «tapisser» complètement les grains de sol élémentaires; cette eau se trouve, par suite des fortes liaisons existant entre elle et les grains, très solidement fixée sur une certaine épaisseur qui est de l'ordre de 50 angström [...] On l'appelle, à cause de la solidité de sa fixation «eau solide». 3, record 1, French, - eau%20adsorb%C3%A9e
