adhesion -
An attraction between molecules of different substances
covalent -

covalent bond in one molecule is attracted to the slightly negative atom of a polar covalent bond in
another molecule.
polar -
Having a pair of equal and opposite charges.
biochemistry -
Chemistry dealing with chemical compounds and processes in living plants and animals
activation energy -
Energy needed to get a reaction started
