The uneven force acting on the surface of a liquid are called viscosity true or false?

Viscosity is the internal resistance of fluid to flow. Water has a thin viscosity (low resistance = flows easily) while oil has a thick viscosity (high viscosity = does not flow as easily). The term viscosity is usually used about the internal forces of the liquid itself.
While not clear from the question, the force acting on the surface of a liquid is probably surface tension being thought of, but could also be gravity, depending on the context.
I would say the answer to your question is: false.

The temperature at which the pressure of the vapor in the liquid is equal to the external pressure acting on the surface of the liquid is a?
Boiling point
What is the curved surface of a liquid called?
Meniscus
When vaporization takes place on the surface of a liquid is called?
If vaporization takes place at the surface of a liquid, it is called evaporation. but when evaporation occurs throughout the substance it is called boiling.
When a liquid has a high viscosity what does that mean?
A liquid with high viscosity is thick and runs slowly. Some example of highly viscous liquids are molasses, honey, and syrup.
What are the 2 kinds of vaporization?
The vaporization that takes place below the surface of liquid is called boiling. The other one that takes place at the surface of a liquid is called evaporation
Measure of how difficult it is to stretch or break the surface of a liquid?
viscosity
What describes how a liquid pours?
The viscosity, surface tension, and flow rate of the liquid determine how it pours. A low viscosity liquid will pour more easily and quickly, while surface tension can affect how smoothly it flows. The flow rate is controlled by the size and shape of the container opening.
What is the force called between liquid particles?
viscosity. Viscosity is the inherent force of a liquid which opposes the relative movement between layers of the said liquid.
How does surface tension and viscosity affect the flow of liquids?
Surface tension affects how liquid molecules interact at the surface, causing liquids to form droplets or spread out. Viscosity is a measure of a liquid's resistance to flow, where high viscosity liquids flow slower than low viscosity liquids. Both properties can impact how liquids flow and behave in different situations.
What condition does apply on one drop of liquid the verge of falling?
Weirdly worded question, but i think you're asking what keeps or makes a single drop of whatever from falling. If that is the question, its gravity acting on the surface tension of the liquid in question. Viscosity also plays a role....as obviosly water droplets would form and fall before, say thick oil or honey. Short answer: gravity acting on surface tension and viscosity. Hope that helps!
Uneven forces acting on the particles on the surface of a liquid?
Surface Tension
What are the two properties of liquid -?
the 2 properties are surface tension and viscosity
The resistance of a liquid to flowing is called .?
Viscosity
The friction between moving molecules in a liquid is called?
The friction between moving molecules in a liquid is called viscosity. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow, with higher viscosity fluids being more resistant to flow than lower viscosity fluids.
What degree to which a liquid resists flowing is called .?
Viscosity
What The degree to which a liquid resists flowing is called .?
Viscosity
What uneven forces acting on the particles of a liquid's surface?
Surface Tension
