hydrophobic
|
|
|
surface tension
|
|
|
adhesion

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Adhesion is the attraction of molecules of one kind for molecules of a different kind, and it can be quite strong for water, especially with other molecules bearing positive or negative charges.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cohesion: Hydrogen Bonds Make Water Sticky 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-3: -Solution : Attraction of water molecules to polar surfuces is known as adhesion.
