Which would have the larger cohesion forces between its molecules water or oil?

Water would because of a intermolecular force called hydrogen bonding. The H2O atoms tend to semi bond with each other becasue of the polarity of the water molecule.

What is Adhesion and what is Cohesion?
Cohesion ia property of identical molecules to form agglomerates; a common example is the assembly of mercury from small bubbles into a larger one.Adhesion is the attraction between molecules of different chemical nature.
What is the difference between dispersion forces and dipole- dipole forces?
Dispersion forces are formed between two non-polar molecules. These molecules form temporary dipoles. This creates a weak force. Dipole Dipole forces have a permanent dipole. That is the basic explanation
Why cl2 is gass and br2 liquid and I2 solid?
NaCl is ionically bonded with stong electrostatic attractions whereas Cl2 only has weak Van Der Waals' forces acting between the molecules More strength is needed to break NaCl's bonds than CL2's bonds. Therefore, NaCl is solid and Cl2 is a gas Hope this helps :)
What characteristic would make a gas non ideal?
The gas molecules interact with one another
What characteristics would make a gas non-ideal?
The gas molecules interact with one another

Are cohesive forces greater than adhesive forces?
yes, as the molecular force is attractive at larger distance apart in case of similar molecules rather than dissimilar molecules. Kamal panda_kamal@rediff.com
Is a chemical bond a force or a chemical?
Molecules are composed of two or more atoms linked together. The attractive forces that link these atoms together are called chemical bonds. The same idea is with forces , except on a larger scale. Forces link MOLECULES to MOLECULES. Bonds link ATOMS to ATOMS.
Why do some liquids have greater viscosity than others?
Viscosity is determined by the internal friction between the molecules of a liquid. Factors such as molecular size and shape, intermolecular forces, and temperature influence viscosity. Liquids with larger and more complex molecules, stronger intermolecular forces, and lower temperatures tend to have greater viscosity because the molecules have a harder time sliding past one another.

What types of intermolecular forces can exist between molecules of iodine?
Regardless of the state, the forces which hold an iodine moolecule together are the same for any other covalent bond: the electric force between the two opposite charges (the positive nuclei and the negative electrons).
Are electrons larger then molecules?
is it true electrons larger then molecules
Why don't dipole dipole forces have much effect on a gas?
The ratio of the average distance between molecules to the size of the molecules themselves is much larger in a gas than in either a liquid or a solid of the same substance, and each dipole is contained in a single molecule. Therefore, the dipole-dipole forces must act over much longer distances in a gas, and all electrostatic forces, such as dipole-dipole forces, are weaker over long distances than over short ones.
What is the relationship between molar mass and London dispersion forces?
Dispersion forces, other known as London forces are the result of intermolecular forces between adjacent molecules. These forces grow in proportion to the lengths of the non polar portions of the molecules due to the increased surface area of interaction. To visualize this property macroscopically, envision two magnets of equal strength but different sizes; the magnet that has a larger surface area of interaction will stick greater than a smaller magnet due to the greater surface size and proportion of attraction
