properties of liquid
Viscosity
Definition : Viscosity is another type of bulk property defined as a liquid's resistance to flow. When the intermolecular forces of attraction are strong within a liquid, there is a larger viscosity
-
What causes it : Because part of a fluid moves, it forces other adjacent parts of the liquid to move along with it causing an internal friction between the molecules which ultimately leads to a reduced rate of flow.
-
Surface Tension
Definition: is a physical property equal to the amount of force per unit area necessary to expand the surface of a liquid. ...
What causes it: Surface tension could be defined as the property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force, due to the cohesive nature of the water molecules.
Surface tension forces are due to intermolecular forces between the liquid's molecules at the liquid's outer boundaries
-
Cohesion and Adhesion
Definition: Cohesion (from Latin cohaesiō "cling" or "unity") or cohesive attraction or cohesive force is the action or property of like molecules sticking together, being mutually attractive.
-
Definition ; Adhesion is the tendency of dissimilar particles or surfaces to cling to one another (cohesion refers to the tendency of similar or identical particles/surfaces to cling to one another). The forces that cause adhesion and cohesion can be divided into several types.
-
Fluidity
Definition:A continuous, amorphous substance whose molecules move freely past one another and that has the tendency to assume the shape of its container; a liquid or gas.
