What is the difference between cohesion and adhesion in terms of their properties and behaviors?
Cohesion refers to the attraction between molecules of the same substance, causing them to stick together. Adhesion, on the other hand, is the attraction between molecules of different substances, causing them to stick together. In terms of properties and behaviors, cohesion results in surface tension and the formation of droplets, while adhesion allows substances to stick to surfaces.
What are the two example of cohesion?
water droplets coming together when they are close together.
Do different surfaces affect the adhesion of tape?
Yes, the adhesion between tape and a surface depends on the nature of the surface. Adhesion results from the attraction between molecules in the adhesive and molecules on the surface. Some materials, like wood allow for more of this attraction than substances like metal. Thus, the amount of adhesion depends on the surface as well as the adhesive on the tape.
How do you measure adhesion strength?
Adhesion strength can be measured using techniques such as pull-off tests, scratch tests, and peel tests. These methods involve applying force to the interface between the adhesive and substrate to quantify the strength of adhesion. The results provide insights into the durability and performance of the adhesion under different conditions.
Why do beads of water often from on a slippery surface such as a freshly waxed car?
Short answer:Water beads form on a surface when the cohesion of the water molecules with each other is much greater than the adhesion of the water to the surface. Water cohesion results in water having high surface tension and hence a strong tendency to form spherical droplets. Water adhesion to waxy or oily materials is small. The result is a tendency to form water beads.This phenomena, or the lack there of, is called wetting and has been studied for centuries. The cohesion of a liquid is directly related to the surface tension of a liquid. Water, which has a high surface tension, readily forms beads on materials which are hydrophobic, i.e. materials with a small adhesion to water. The waxed surface of a car has small adhesion and so water beads form regularly. The raw painted surface of the car would have more adhesion with water and so greater wettability. The opposite extreme, the tendency of a liquid to wet a surface due to strong adhesion, is critical to a situation such as lubrication where the liquid should coat the solid surface. It is the two properties combined, adhesion and cohesion, which determine wettabilty and beading.Long Answer:When one speaks of water beading on a surface, one means the formation of small droplets of water on a surface. This phenomena depends not only on the properties of water and the surface, but most importantly on the property of the interaction of the water with the surface. In science, this is the topic of "wetting" and one describes the tendency in terms of the "wettability" of a particular combination of liquid and surface. Beading is a manifestation of low wettability or little wetting.A liquid droplet on a surface tends to form a more nearly spherical shape if the forces of attraction (or cohesion) between the liquid molecules is strong and the forces between the liquid and and the solid (adhesion) are weak. We associate strong cohesive forces of a liquid with a high surface tension and a high surface tension opposes wetting. Water is an example of a liquid with high surface tension.The interaction of water with a surface like wax or plastic or Teflon is an example weak adhesion or weak forces between the liquid molecules and solid surface. Thus, wetting is highly unfavorable and formation of nearly spherical droplets is favored and we say water beads. Surfaces like metal or glass have somewhat stronger adhesive forces so wetting is greater and droplets are less spherical.

Which property of water results in a meniscus?
Adhesion due to the polarity of the water molecule.
What causes a meniscus to form?
Everyone has two menisci (pl. of meniscus) in your knee joint. It helps to cushion the knee joint. It can occasionally get torn and because it has a very poor blood supply, it generally won't heal without surgery.
What force of attraction is responsible for the formation of a thin film on the surface of water?
The attraction that causes water and other liquids to form drops and thin films is cohesion. The attraction between oppositely charges ions results in the formation of an ionic bond.
The attraction between molecules that results in the rise of a lipid in small tubes?
Adhesion
What are the two example of cohesion?
water droplets coming together when they are close together.
What is the polarity of glass?
I did not mean to come across this and answer, but while I am here, yes. Glass is polar and results in the meniscus one would see in a glass test tube. This polarity is however not the reason one might notice they can fill a glass of water above the top (the reason for that is the attraction between the water molecules themselves). These two examples are great for explaining the difference between adhesion (former) and cohesion (latter). I hope this helped!
Why is it important to keep the graduated cylender on a flat surface when reading the meniscus?
it is important to keep the graduated cylinder on a flat surface when reading the meniscus so that your groogies dont escape and so that the results are good
What were the results of the formation?
vacuoles
