उत्तर
| Cohesion Force | Adhesion Force | |
| 1. | The force between the like molecules which hold the liquid together is called ‘cohesive force’. | When the liquid is in contact with a solid, the molecules of these solid and liquid will experience an attractive force which is called ‘adhesive force’. |
| 2. | A strong force of cohesion forms water droplets on any surface. | A strong adhesion force causes the liquid to spread all over the surface. |
