Do polar or non polar liquids have a greater capillary action?
polar liquids have a greater capillary action due to the adhesion and cohesion of polar substances such as water
The tendency of molecules of the same kind to stick together is called?
This depends. If the molecules are of different kinds (ie: Water and Glass), then it is called adhesion. If they are of the same kind, it is called cohesion.The tendency of molecules of the same kind to stick to one another is known as cohesion. This is what keeps the molecules together a good example being in water.
Why is it possible to separate mixtures of liquids by boiling?
Different liquids boil at different temperatures. When the boiling points (the temperature at which a liquid boils) are sufficiently different, boiling can be used to seperate the liquids
Why do solids and liquids behave differently?
Unlike the particles that make up solids and liquids, gas particles have a large amount of empty space between them. The space that gas particles occupy is the gas's volume, which can change because of temperature and pressure.
Are all liquids the same?
All liquids are not the same: they have different physical and chemical properties.
Why does water pool or puddle on a flat surface instead of spreading out evenly?
surface tension is the result of cohesion which holds liquids together surface tension is the result of cohesion which holds liquids together surface tension is the result of cohesion which holds liquids together
Why do different liquids flow differently?
Liquids have intermolecular forces of attraction,these resist the motion of a liquid. These forces have different magnitude in different liquids thus some fluids flow more easily than others.
The pull on the surface of liquids that allows liquids to form drops when they fall?
cohesion/ cohesive forces
What special property of water allows you to drink liquids with a straw?
cohesion and adhesion
The pull on the surface of the liquids that allow liquids to form drops when they fall?
It is surface tension.
Does granular soil have cohesion?
It depends on the amount of clay that is in the granular soil. Typically granular soils have low cohesion. A clean sand will have 0 cohesion.
Why do different temps affect the amount of rust on a penny nail needle and paper clip when put in different liquids?
Yes, different temps will effect the amount of rust on a penny, nail, needle, and paper clip. The different types of liquids will also effect the rusting process.
Do polar or non polar liquids have a greater capillary action?
polar liquids have a greater capillary action due to the adhesion and cohesion of polar substances such as water
Does a liquid take up a different amount of space when it is put into a different containers?
No. Liquids have a definate, or fixed volume.
Does a liquid takes up a different amount of space when put into a different countainer?
No it just takes the shape of the container. Same amount of space (volume). Generally speaking you can really compress a liquid but not noticeable before it solidifies (for most liquids). Different deal for Newtonian liquids tho.
Will different temps affect the amount of rust on a penny nail needle and paper clip when put in different liquids?
Yes
SubstanceWhat is the attraction of molecules of different?
cohesion
