Tell me about cohesive And adhesive forces
Answers
Answer:
Cohesive and adhesive forces are associated with bulk (or macroscopic) properties, and hence the terms are not applicable to the discussion of atomic and molecular properties. When a liquid comes into contact with a surface (such as the walls of a graduated cylinder or a tabletop), both cohesive and adhesive forces will act on it. These forces govern the shape which the liquid takes on. Due to the effects of adhesive forces, liquid on a surface can spread out to form a thin, relatively uniform film over the surface, a process known as wetting. Alternatively, in the presence of strong cohesive forces, the liquid can divide into a number of small, roughly spherical beads that stand on the surface, maintaining minimal contact with the surface.

COHESIVE FORCES are the intermolecular forces which cause tendency in liquids to resist separations.

ADHESION is the property of different molecules or surfaces to cling to each other.......This is due to the adhesive force between the water molecules and the molecules of te container.
