What is the force of attraction between the particles in a liquid?
van der waals
Why does water have a meniscus?
Surface Tension. this is caused by a cohesive force between the polarized water molecules.
Surface tension is directly proportional to?
Surface Tension Is Directly Proportional To Intermolecular Forces, Hydrogen Bonding & Viscocity
What is cohesive energy?
Adhesion: attractive force between 2 particles in different substances, like water and glass molecules Cohesion: attractive force that holds molecules of a single substance together, like the surface tension on water
A consequence of the surface tension of water is?
The surface tension of water is responsible for the cohesive properties it exhibits. For example, capillary action is a consequence of surface tension.
SURFACE TENSION?
Te tension on the surface of an object.
What is surface tension.?
