cohesion-- Water molecules stick to each other.
adhesion-- Water molecules stick to other molecules.
Water is a polar molecule because of oxygen is more electronegative.
Hydrogen bonds create surface tension and result it water's cohesive and adhesive properties.
Hydrophobic = repel water
Hydropholic = affinity for water. ......
hahaha XD

∙ 11y agoThe weak hydrogen bonds in water molecules cause them to stick to one another. They are also responsible for water's cohesive properties in which the hydrogen bonds adhere to other substances.
However, water is still not as adhesive as glue.

What is responsible for the attraction between water molecules?
Water molecules are attracted to each other by 'cohesive force'. It is the force that holds a droplet of water together in a raindrop, or in a semi-spherical shape if dripped onto glass. Water is also affected by ' adhesive force' which causes the droplet on glass to adhere (stick ) to the glass as well. In a thin glass tube the adhesive force makes the water move upwards.
Why does water stick to hand?
water exerts two types of force cohesive and adhesive force.Cohesive force exist between water molecules and adhesive force exist between water and other objects.therefore when our hand is dipped in water the adhesive force overtakes the cohesive force and thus water sticks to hand.Its same as the capillarity principle
What is adhesive force?
adhesive property mean which stick two surfaces
What special abilities do water molecules have because they are polar?
Because water molecules are polar, they exhibit both cohesion adhesive. They are cohesive because they stick to other water molecules, and adhesive because they also stick to other surfaces.
What is an adhesive?
An adhesive is something which sticks to another substance.
What makes water both adhesive and cohesive?
Surface tension does.
What is adhesive water?
There is no such thing as adhesive water.
What company makes adhesive paper?
One of the companies that makes adhesive paper is Sonoco. Post-it-Note papers are made by the company 3M. Adhesive Shelf liners which are made of paper are manufactured by Con-Tact Brand.
Is water cohesive or adhesive?

What does adhesive mean in water?
Waters ability to stick to water
What makes duct tape sticky?

What makes waterproof band-aids waterproof band-aids?
Waterproof Band-Aids are touted as being able to stay on in water. What makes them different from regular Band-Aids is that a stronger adhesive is used.
If water spreads out on a glass plate is this an example or cohesive or adhesive force?
Both, the water molecules are cohesive to each other, and the outer water molecules are adhesive to the table surface.
