Abstract

This paper shows the structure of a liquid based on the degrees of freedom that the molecules have for motion is determined by the number of coordinates that are occupied by cohesion. It gives the structure of liquid-surface model, string model and ring model. Various important properties of cohesion and adhesive forces are also discussed briefly. Also cohesion force is compared with adhesive force and the results are tabulated in this paper.
