Detailed explanation-1: -Water has an amazing ability to adhere (stick) to itself and to other substances. The property of cohesion describes the ability of water molecules to be attracted to other water molecules, which allows water to be a “sticky” liquid.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cohesion and adhesion are two water properties that describe how water molecules interact with each other. and how water molecules interact with other things like leaves or even you. Cohesion means that water likes to stick to itself. and adhesion means that water likes to stick to other things.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hydrogen bonds cause water to be exceptionally attracted to each other. Therefore, water is very cohesive.

Detailed explanation-4: -Definition of Adhesion and Cohesion As for the definitions, the tendency of two or more different molecules to bond with each other is known as adhesion, whereas the force of attraction between the same molecules is known as cohesion.
