What type of bonding allows for cohesion and adhesion?

Asked by Alissa605

Answer (2)

Hydrogen bonds allow for cohesion and adhesion. Think water properties

Answered by mandolin | 2024-06-10

Cohesion and adhesion are primarily due to hydrogen bonding and polar covalent bonding in chemistry. Cohesion is the attraction between similar molecules, while adhesion is the attraction between different substances. These properties are especially observed in water due to its polarity.
