Detailed explanation-1: -cohesion, in physics, the intermolecular attractive force acting between two adjacent portions of a substance, particularly of a solid or liquid. It is this force that holds a piece of matter together. Intermolecular forces act also between two dissimilar substances in contact, a phenomenon called adhesion.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chemical bond refers to the forces holding atoms together to form molecules and solids. This force is of an electric nature, and the attraction between electrons of one atom to the nucleus of another atom contributes to what is known as chemical bonds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cohesion, also known as cohesive attraction or cohesive force, is the action or property of molecules adhering to one another due to mutual attraction. The force of attraction between two comparable substances or molecules is known as the cohesion force.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
