Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Define adhesion:
A
the joining of two different substances due to attractive forces that hold them.
B
the joining of the same substance due to attractive forces that hold them.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -The force of adhesion is defined as the force of attraction between different substances, such as glass and water.

Detailed explanation-4: -The force of adhesion is defined as the attraction between two or more different molecules. For example, when a glass of water is emptied, the particles remain stuck to the glass due to the molecular adhesion between the water and the glass.

Detailed explanation-5: -This force of cohesion keeps the molecules of the substance bind together. The force of attraction between different types of molecules is called a force of adhesion. Example: When a glass filled with water is emptied some water particles remain stuck to the glass due to the adhesion between water molecules and glass.
