Detailed explanation-1: -Body. Water has an amazing ability to adhere (stick) to itself and to other substances. Hydrogen Bonds.

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: -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-4: -Adhesion is the attraction between two dissimilar phases. There is no single theory to explain adhesion, but it is commonly divided into mechanical interlocking and physical and chemical bonding.

Detailed explanation-5: -Water likes to stick to itself, but under certain circumstances, it actually prefers to stick to other types of molecules. 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.
