Explain the difference between atom and element

an atom is the smallest part of an element that has the properties of that element

it can't be broken further into smaller substances

an element is the simplest chemical

it consists of one type of atoms

so you can consider atoms as the building block of an element

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.
