Answer #1

Pdms is a organic polymer . It is basically a silicone . So it is attracted more towards electrons since silicon is electron defecient . So attraction is more towards toulene followed by ethylene glycol , isopropanol and water . So contact angle , i.e., tha angle between tangents drawn to surfaces , is more for more attracted molecules . So order is Toulene > Ethylene glycol > isopropanol > water .
