Detailed explanation-1: -Cohesion refers to the attraction of molecules for other molecules of the same kind, and water molecules have strong cohesive forces thanks to their ability to form hydrogen bonds with one another.
Detailed explanation-2: -The intermolecular forces of attraction between the particles of the same substance are called cohesive forces.
Detailed explanation-3: -The force of cohesion is defined as the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cohesion is the property of like molecules (of the same substance) to stick to each other due to mutual attraction. Adhesionis the property of different molecules or surfaces to cling to each other. For example, solids have high cohesive properties so they do not stick to the surfaces they come in contact.
