Properties of Liquids
Objectives:
At the end of this lessons, you should be able to do the following with
80% proficiency:
What makes it possible for these insects to remain on the surface liquid
considering they are more dense than water?
SURFACE TENSION
the force that causes the molecules on the surface of a liquid
to tighten their hold to one another creating a thin membrane
on the surface
Viscosity
measure of tendency of liquid to resist to flow
affected by two factors: Intermolecular forces
size and shape of molecules
Viscosity
Strong IMFS ------ High viscosity
Weak IMFS ------- Low viscosity
