Adhesion is the attraction of ______ molecules.

  1. unlike

  2. like

  3. identical

  4. mixed

The correct answer is: unlike

Adhesion is the attraction of unlike molecules. This concept is based on the principle that molecules with different properties are attracted to each other. Unlike molecules have different chemical compositions or structures, leading to an attraction between them. This phenomenon is commonly observed in various aspects of dentistry, such as in the adhesion of dental materials to tooth structure or in the adhesion of cells to biomaterials. Therefore, the correct answer is "A. unlike."
