The attraction between molecules of the same kind is known as ____
A
adhesion
B
cohesion
C
surface tension
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The intermolecular force of attraction between the molecules of the same kind is called cohesive force.

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: -Cohesion or cohesive force is the intermolecular attraction between like-molecules. In water molecule, cohesion holds hydrogen bonds together to create surface tension on water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cohesion refers to the attraction of molecules for other molecules of the same kind, and water molecules have strong cohesive forces thanks to their ability to form hydrogen bonds with one another.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
