Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Adhesion and cohesion are water properties that affect every water molecule on earth and also the interaction of water molecules with molecules of other substances. Essentially, cohesion and adhesion are the “stickiness” that water molecules have for each other and for other substances.

Detailed explanation-2: -Adhesion refers to the tendency of water molecules to be attracted, or ‘’stick”, to other substances. This is a result of the covalent bond between the two hydrogen atoms and the one oxygen atom in the water molecule.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cohesion: Water is attracted to water, and Adhesion: Water is attracted to other substances.

Detailed explanation-4: -Similar to cohesion, adhesion is the attraction between molecules of different substances. Water uses adhesion when its attraction to another substance is greater than the water’s attraction to itself.
