∙ 14y agoCohesion refers to a liquid's attraction to itself, that is , between its atoms or molecules. Adhesion is the attraction of the liquid to the container holding it. For example, the surface of water in a glass curves upwards at the rim- also known as the meniscus, because adhesion exceeds cohesion. With mercury, the meniscus curves down, because the mercury atoms are more attracted to one another than the glass, and are trying to form a sphere.

The attraction among molecules of different substances is called?
An attraction between substances of the same kind is called cohesion. However, if it occurs in water, then it is known as capillary action.
Do different liquids have a different amount of cohesion?
Because of different densities (ex. water and oil)
What property causes water to curve?
I believe it is cohesion or adhesion.
The tendency of molecules of the same kind to stick together is called?
This depends. If the molecules are of different kinds (ie: Water and Glass), then it is called adhesion. If they are of the same kind, it is called cohesion.The tendency of molecules of the same kind to stick to one another is known as cohesion. This is what keeps the molecules together a good example being in water.
Do water molecules attract other polar molecules through adhesion cohesion peptide bonds ionic bonds?
adhesion
How does adhesion and cohesion results to the formation of a meniscus?
if adhesion>cohesion, concave meniscus from out if ahesion<cohesion, convex if adhesion=cohesion, flat surface
What is the influence of adhesion and cohesion in liquid?
what ia the influence of adhesion and cohesion on liquid
What causes adhesion and cohesion of water?
Hydrogen bonds are the reason for cohesion and Van Der Waals equation is the cause of adhesion.
Is cohesion and adhesion the same?
No, Cohesion is when like particles are forced together by the molecular forces. Adhesion is when unlike particles are forced together by molecular force
How are cohesion and adhesion difference?
Cohesion is a word used to describe something being formed as a whole. Adhesion is a word used to describe something that is being adhered to another object. So, cohesion is only 1 object and adhesion is 2 or more objects.
The attraction among molecules of different substances is called?
An attraction between substances of the same kind is called cohesion. However, if it occurs in water, then it is known as capillary action.
What are synonyms of adherence?
Bond Cohesion attachment adhesion
What is a direct result of hydrogen bonding?
cohesion and adhesion
What properties make water wet?
Adhesion & Cohesion
What has high specific heat cohesion and adhesion?
water
Do different liquids have a different amount of cohesion?
Because of different densities (ex. water and oil)
How are cohesion and adhesion similar Different?
Adhesion is when the surface of one thing sticks to the surface of another thing. Cohesion is when the parts of one thing stick to each other. Both words have the idea of things sticking together, but adhesion is two different things whereas cohesion is the parts of a single thing.
