What is the property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force?
Surface Tension
What is surface tention?
surface tension is the property of a liquid which make its surface behave as if it is a length or stretch elastic skin.
What is suface tension?
The amount of energy needed to break the surface of a liquid.
SURFACE TENSION?
Te tension on the surface of an object.
What is free surface of a liquid behaves like a sheet and tends to contract to the smallest possible area due to the?
This property is the surface tension.
What is natural liquid gas?
NGL is a reservoir portion of natural gas that is stripped out as a liquid at the surface by special processing facilities.
What is surface tension.?
Surface tension is defined as the elasticlike force that exists at the surface.
Is iodine a physical property or a chemical property?
Iodine is an element and its special property is sublimation, this is a physical change from solid iodine to gasous iodine with no liquid phase(or state) in between.
What is the liquid property that allows oil to flow upward in the wick of a lantern?
Liquids are able to travel up narrow tubes or threads because of capillary action. This property causes part of the surface of a liquid to elevate above the rest of the surface when in contact with a solid.
Why can you pour a glass of water to the rim of the glass?
it's called "surface tension". It is the property of the surface of a liquid which causes it to behave like an elastic sheet. This is why a "water strider" insect can skate across the surface of a pond without sinking into the water. It is also what causes a drop of water - the surface tension of the water pulls it into a ball.
What is the scientific name for surface tension?
The scientific name for surface tension is interfacial tension. It refers to the property of a liquid that causes its surface to act like a thin, elastic sheet.
Difference between parachor and rheochor?
parachor is depend on the surface tention of the liquid and its molar volume rheocor is depend upoun the viscosity of a liquid . both are additive and constiitutive property.
