What are the types of cohesion?

Types of CohesionThe seven types of cohesion are as stated by (Ian Sommervile 1998):1. "Coincidental cohesion: The parts of a component are not related but simply bundled into a single component.2. Logical association: Components that perform similar functions such as input, error handling and so on are put together in a single component.3. Temporal cohesion: All of the components that are activated at a single time, such as start up or shut down, are brought together.4. Procedural cohesion: The elements in a component make up a single control sequence.5. Communicational cohesion: All of the elements of a component operate on the same input data or produce the same output data.6. Sequential cohesion: The output from one element in the component serves as input for some other element.7. Functional cohesion: Each part of the component is necessary for the execution of a single function".


How does adhesion and cohesion results to the formation of a meniscus?

Adhesion between water and the walls of the container causes the liquid to climb the walls, while cohesion between water molecules creates a curved surface at the top of the liquid. The combination of these forces results in the formation of a meniscus, which is concave for water in a glass container and convex for water in a narrow tube.


What is the difference between cohesion and adhesion?

Cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same substance, while adhesion is the attraction between molecules of different substances.


What is meant by term 'Cohesion'?

The term "cohesion" refers to the action of cohering, sticking together, or uniting together. In chemistry and physics, the word "cohesion" is referring to a force that is molecular between particles within a body or substance that unites them.


What is the difference between adhesion and cohesion in terms of their properties and behaviors?

Adhesion is the attraction between different substances, while cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same substance. Adhesion allows substances to stick together, while cohesion allows molecules within a substance to stick together.
