Here's a breakdown:

* Cohesion: The force of attraction between molecules of the same substance. It's what makes liquids form droplets and allows them to resist being pulled apart.

* Adhesion: The force of attraction between molecules of different substances. This is what causes water to stick to glass or to the fibers of a towel.

Examples of Cohesion:

* Water droplets: The cohesive forces between water molecules are strong enough to hold them together, forming droplets.

* Surface tension: The surface of a liquid acts like a thin, elastic skin due to the strong cohesive forces between molecules.

* Viscosity: The resistance of a liquid to flow is also influenced by cohesive forces.

Factors affecting Cohesion:

* Intermolecular forces: These forces, like hydrogen bonds, dipole-dipole interactions, and London dispersion forces, play a major role in determining the strength of cohesive forces.

* Temperature: Higher temperatures decrease cohesion because molecules move faster and their attractive forces are less effective.

* Pressure: Increased pressure can increase cohesion.
