What do we consider molecules?

Abdul Latif said:   6 years ago
A correct answer is an option : D Cohesion because it is clearly mentioned in the question that molecules get attracted means to "each other". So, it's cohesion.

Let me make it clear and simple:

Adhesion occurs between two different Molecules.
Cohesion occurs between two same Molecules.
In the Question, it says "FLUIDS" not "FLUID"
Which means different Fluids/Molecules.
So the Correct Answer is (C) Adhesion.

Correct answer is cohession.

I think the given answer is right because here it is not mentioned that whether they are molecules of same fluids are of different fluids, if we consider the common example of water in a glass, where the glass inner side gets wet, this is because of the water molecules gets attracted towards the glass, which says adhesion occurred.

Its C, because the question is molecules of fluids not fluid (which means different types of liquid molecules are attracted by adhesion).

Agree, thanks @Mohit.

Cohesion is the right option.

Please explain this in detail.
