1. Cohesion
   Cohesion just means 'sticking together' and cohesive forces are the forces that enable something to stick to itself. For example, if you glue two objects together and then break them apart, a cohesive failure is where the glue itself breaks, as opposed to an adhesive failure where the break is at the join between the glue and one of the objects.
