Cohesive Force
Cohesive force is the intermolecular force of attraction acting between identical molecules of the same substance, primarily responsible for phenomena like surface tension, droplet formation, and high tensile strength in liquids such as water.
Importance in UPSCUPSC में महत्व
Frequently tested in UPSC Civil Services Prelims (General Science / Physics) through applied questions on capillary action, plant water transport, surface tension, and physical properties of matter.
