Question

Define: Cohesive force

Answer 1

Cohesive force: The intermolecular forces between molecules of the same substance.

The force of attraction between two comparable substances or molecules is known as the cohesion force.

Let us explain by taking the example of water:

• Each water molecule makes hydrogen bonds with molecules next to it.
• Cohesive Force is the property of comparable molecules adhering to one another due to their mutual attraction.
• Surface tension is created by cohesion, which creates a solid-like state in which lightweight or low-density materials can be deposited.
