Cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same substance. Due to hydrogen bonding water is very cohesive. Water's cohesion causes molecules on the surface of the water to be drawn inward causing "surface tension". This property allows insects to walk on water.
Adhesion is the attraction between molecules of different substances. Adhesion causes water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity for example the forces that draw water out of the roots of the plants and up into its stems and leaves, this is called capillarity.
Cohesion-is an attraction between molecules of the same substance,
Adhesion-is an attraction between molecules of different substances; in plants, attraction between unlike molecule's
Easier than it sounds: cohesion is water sticking to itself and adhesion is water sticking to something else.
An attraction between substances of the same kind is called cohesion. However, if it occurs in water, then it is known as capillary action.
Because of different densities (ex. water and oil)
I believe it is cohesion or adhesion.
This depends. If the molecules are of different kinds (ie: Water and Glass), then it is called adhesion. If they are of the same kind, it is called cohesion.The tendency of molecules of the same kind to stick to one another is known as cohesion. This is what keeps the molecules together a good example being in water.
adhesion
if adhesion>cohesion, concave meniscus from out if ahesion<cohesion, convex if adhesion=cohesion, flat surface
what ia the influence of adhesion and cohesion on liquid
Hydrogen bonds are the reason for cohesion and Van Der Waals equation is the cause of adhesion.
No, Cohesion is when like particles are forced together by the molecular forces. Adhesion is when unlike particles are forced together by molecular force
Cohesion is a word used to describe something being formed as a whole. Adhesion is a word used to describe something that is being adhered to another object. So, cohesion is only 1 object and adhesion is 2 or more objects.
An attraction between substances of the same kind is called cohesion. However, if it occurs in water, then it is known as capillary action.

Adhesion is when the surface of one thing sticks to the surface of another thing. Cohesion is when the parts of one thing stick to each other. Both words have the idea of things sticking together, but adhesion is two different things whereas cohesion is the parts of a single thing.
