Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Tendency of molecules of the same kind to stick to one another
A
cohesion
B
adhesion
C
solution
D
polar molecule
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Molecules of pure substances are attracted to themselves. This sticking together of like substances is called cohesion. Depending on how attracted molecules of the same substance are to one another, the substance will be more or less cohesive.

Detailed explanation-2: -Adhesion and cohesion are water properties that affect every water molecule on Earth and also the interaction of water molecules with molecules of other substances. Essentially, cohesion and adhesion are the “stickiness” that water molecules have for each other and for other substances.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -The hydrogen bonds of the polar molecules create properties known as cohesion and adhesion. Cohesion is the tendency of water molecules to stick together, which helps the molecules form droplets or small pools on surfaces.
