The properties of water that causes it to exhibit properties as cohesion and adhesion is the fact that water molecules are polar. The electronegativity differences between the atoms in the molecule, showcase that atoms of H would experience a partial positive charge due to the fact that the electrons are relatively more closer to the oxygen atom and vice versa.
