What is the adhesive and cohesive force
Answers
i) Cohesive force:
The force of attraction
between the molecules of the same
substance is called cohesive force or
force of cohesion. The force of attraction
between two air molecules or that between
two water molecules is a cohesive force.
Cohesive force is strongest in solids and
weakest in gases. This is the reason why
solids have a definite shape and gases do
not. Small droplets of liquid coalesce into
one and form a drop due to this force.
ii) Adhesive force:
The force of attraction
between the molecules of different
substances is called adhesive force or
force of adhesion. The force of attraction
between glass and water molecule is a
force of adhesion.

Cohesion is the property of like molecules (of the same substance) to stick to each other due to mutual attraction. 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 the container.
