Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: The force of cohesion is defined as the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance. The force of adhesion is defined as the force of attraction between different substances, such as glass and water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Intermolecular forces, often abbreviated to IMF, are the attractive and repulsive forces that arise between the molecules of a substance. These forces mediate the interactions between individual molecules of a substance. Intermolecular forces are responsible for most of the physical and chemical properties of matter.

Detailed explanation-4: -COHESION is the force of attraction between molecules of same substances.
