Cohesion‚ along with adhesion (attraction between unlike molecules)‚ helps explain phenomena such as meniscus‚ surface tension and capillary action. Mercury in a glass flask is a good example of the effects of the ratio between cohesive and adhesive forces. Because of its high cohesion and low adhesion to the glass‚ mercury does not spread out to cover the bottom of the
