Cohesive forces is how much the water molecules stick to each other and adhesive forces are to which extinct they stick to other surfaces.
When we pull the paperclip upward the water molecules adhere to it due to adhesive forces. While the water on the clip is remain connected to water in the glass because of cohesive forces.
So if the adhesive forces dominates the water will be pulled out and if the cohesive forces dominate it will remain with other water in the cup.
<span>the atractions between the solute and solvent molecules must be greater than the atractions keeping the solute together and the atractions keeping the solvent togetherrr.</span>
