אדהיזה
כוחות אדהזיה הם כוחות משיכה בין מולקולות שונות. הגדרה של אדהזיה וקוהזיה ניתן לראות בקורס אטומים מולקולות ותכונות החומר, יחידה 12של האוניברסיטה הפתוחה וכן באתר הבא: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html הנה ההסבר : Cohesion and Adhesion Molecules liquid state experience strong intermolecular attractive forces. When those forces are between like molecules, they are referred to as cohesive forces. For example, the molecules of a water droplet are held together by cohesive forces, and the especially strong cohesive forces at the surface constitute surface tension. When the attractive forces are between unlike molecules, they are said to be adhesive forces. The adhesive forces between water molecules and the walls of a glass tube are stronger than the cohesive forces lead to an upward turning meniscus at the walls of the vessel and contribute to capillary action. The attractive forces between molecules in a liquid can be viewed as residual electrostatic forces and are sometimes called van der Waals forces or van der Waals bonds.
