Viscosity is the internal friction within a liquid that makes it resistant to flow. Surface tension refers to the cohesive forces between molecules at the surface of a liquid, capillary action is the ability of a liquid to flow upwards in a narrow space against the force of gravity, and adhesion refers to the attraction between molecules of different substances. Cohesion refers to the attraction between molecules of the same substance.
