a group of students are wandering around a room. when their teacher claps, the students sit down wherever they are.

this situation best models the formation of which type of solid?
1) an amorphous solid because the particles do not have a regular structure
2) an amorphous solid because the motion of the particles stopped
3) a crystalline solid because the moving particles lock into fixed positions
4) a crystalline solid because the particles have a long-range order

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
