What is Cohesive Force?

The term "cohesive forces" is a generic term for the collective intermolecular forces (e.g., hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces) responsible for the bulk property of liquids resisting separation. Specifically, these attractive forces exist between molecules of the same substance.
