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: -Adhesion is the ability of dissimilar molecules to stick together. Water will form intermolecular associations with polar and charged molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Adhesion is the tendency of dissimilar particles or surfaces to cling to one another (cohesion refers to the tendency of similar or identical particles/surfaces to cling to one another).

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.

Detailed explanation-5: -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. For example, solids have high cohesive properties so they do not stick to the surfaces they come in contact.
