∙ 13y agoAll forms of water (rain, in a glass, etc.) are examples of cohesion. Cohesion is a term used to coin the attraction between molecules of the same compound. Water is extremely cohesive being a polar molecule.

∙ 13y agoCohesion (n. lat. cohaerere "stick or stay together") or cohesive attraction or cohesive forceis a physical property of a substance, caused by the intermolecular attraction between like-molecules within a body or substance that acts to unite them.Mercury exhibits more cohesion than adhesion
Water, for example, is strongly cohesive as each molecule may make four hydrogen bonds to other water molecules in a tetrahedral configuration. This results in a relatively strong Coulomb force between molecules. Van der Waals gases such as methane, however, have weak cohesion due only to Van der Waals forces that operate by induced polarity in non-polar molecules.
Cohesion, along with adhesion (attraction between unlike molecules), helps explain phenomena such as meniscus, surface tension and capillary action.
Mercury in a glass flask is a good example of the effects of the ratio between cohesive and adhesive forces. Because of its high cohesion and low adhesion to the glass, mercury does not spread out to cover the bottom of the flask , and if enough is placed in the flask to cover the bottom, it exhibits a strongly convex meniscus, where the meniscus of water is concave . Mercury will not wet the glass, unlike water and many other liquids ,[1] and if the glass is tipped, it will 'roll' around inside.

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 comunity cohesion?
The attractive force between like substances. i.e. two water molecules.
What is the reasons of lack of the cohesion team?
the reasons for lack of team cohesion are poor communication, selfishness, lack of leadership
What is community cohesion?
Community cohesion is when people fromdifferent races can get along as a community with no differences or racism. (Hope this helps!) =)
What is meant by term 'Cohesion'?
The term "cohesion" refers to the action of cohering, sticking together, or uniting together. In chemistry and physics, the word "cohesion" is referring to a force that is molecular between particles within a body or substance that unites them.
What is an example of cohesion in everyday life?
Carmel or Maple Syrup that is a visious cohesion, a calm cohesion is milk and or water!!
What is a real life example of cohesion?
The attraction among molecules of a substance is cohesion.
You can hold a water droplet between two fingertips held slightly apart This is an example of what property of water?
Cohesion
Are hydrogen bonds an example of cohesion?
Yes
What is cohesion?
Cohesion is when two things come together. In Biology, the term is used to refer to molecules sticking together through attraction. For example, two water molecules would be said to be cohesive since they are held together by attraction. The official definition of the word cohesion is "the action or fact of forming a united whole."
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.
What are the examples of cohesion?
Examples of Cohesion *Water clinging to your newly waxed car *Water clinging to a pice of waxed paper The examples above are actually examples of ADHESION not COHESION. ADHESION is the force that attracts two DIFFERENT materials together. COHESION is the sticking of two LIKE substances.
Which group is an example of ensuring new arrivals are welcomed?
unit cohesion
Describe an example of cohesion and adhesion that you might observe during your daily life?
For example mecury in a thermometer.
