Adhesion describes water's attraction to _____. other water molecules other substances hydrogen molecules acids and bases

Answer 1

The correct answer is "other substances."

Cohesion occurs when particles of a substance stick together. So sticking of water molecules with one another is cohesion.

Adhesion is the opposite of cohesion. It occurs when particles of different substance attract to each other. For example, water sticks to glass. Thus water's attraction to other substances is adhesion.

Answer 2

Adhesion describes water's attraction to other substances.

The term Adhesion refers to the tendency of particles or surfaces which are not similar to cling to one another. So basically, the adhesion occurs in water when the water is attracted or cling to other substance not similar to water.
