Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is an example of COHESION?
A
water sticking to water
B
water sticking to glass
C
oil sticking to plastic
D
hydrogen sticking to oxygen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A water drop is composed of water molecules that like to stick together-an example of the property of cohesion.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cohesion: Hydrogen Bonds Make Water Sticky 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: -Surface tension, meniscus and capillary action are the effects of cohesion.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cohesion means sticking together. If your group of friends heads to the lunchroom as a team and sits all together, you’re demonstrating strong cohesion. Cohesion is a word that comes to us through physics, where cohesion describes particles that are the same and tend to stick together-water molecules, for example.
