cohesion

Cohesion is the attraction of molecules to other molecules of the SAME kind.

• Water molecules have strong cohesive forces thanks to their ability to form hydrogen bonds with one another

• A water drop is composed of water molecules that like to stick together-an example of the property of cohesion.

• Cohesion of water molecules is what causes surface tension, a phenomenon that results in the tendency of a liquid’s surface to resist rupture when placed under tension or stress
