The attraction among molecules of different substances is called?
An attraction between substances of the same kind is called cohesion. However, if it occurs in water, then it is known as capillary action.
Compare contrast the terms adhesion and cohesion?
Cohesion- Is An Attraction Between Molecules Of The Same Substance.Adhesion- Is An Attraction Between Molecules Of Different Substances.
How do cohesion and adhesion differ?
Cohesion and adhesion differ because cohesion is an attraction between molecules of the same substance. Adhesion is an attraction between molecules of different substances.Adhesion is the intermolecular attraction between 'unlike-molecules' (usually referred to the attraction or joining of two different objects of fluids to each other).Cohesion is the intermolecular attraction between 'like-molecules' (usually referred to the strength with which the particles of an object of fluid attract to each other).== == == ==
Whats the difference between adhesion and cohesion?

What causes adhesion and cohesion of water?
Hydrogen bonds are the reason for cohesion and Van Der Waals equation is the cause of adhesion.
What are the two requirements for glue to form a bond between two materials?

What are two requirements for glue to work to form a bond between two materials?

What are examples of adhesion and cohesion?
cohesion: water's cohesion causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops pf water form beads on a smooth surface. adhesion: adhesion between water and glass causes water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity ice formingon the surface of water bodies in winter
Is cohesion and adhesion the same?
No, Cohesion is when like particles are forced together by the molecular forces. Adhesion is when unlike particles are forced together by molecular force
How are cohesion and adhesion difference?
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.
