Cohesion:As mentioned before, this is an attractive force between similar kinds of molecules – in this case, water molecules sticking together create surface tension.
Meniscus: This is the curve seen at the top of a liquid in response to its container. The meniscus forms due to both adhesive and cohesive forces working together.
Hydrophobic Effect: This describes how non-polar substances tend to clump together when placed in water due to high surface tension.
