Properties of Liquids

Liquid has definite volume but indefinite shape, liquids have relatively strong
IMF’s, they are stronger than gases but not as strong as solids.
Viscosity
- Viscosity is a substance resistance to flow. The higher the viscosity the
thicker and concentrated the substance and the lower viscosity the thinner
the substance. The stronger the attractive forces, the hinger the viscosity.
Viscosity decreases with temperature by adding energy or heat makes it
easier for the molecules to overcomes their intermolecular forces (IMF’s).
Surface Tension
- It is a measure of the inward pull by particles in the interior. Strong
intermolecular forces equal to high surface tension. Surface molecules are
compressed more tightly together at the surface forming sort of a skin, with
less distance between then compared to the molecules below them. Surface
molecules are much smoother.
Evaporation
- Evaporation is when liquid or solid turns into vapor. The fastest water
molecules are going to escape and go out into the open air and that in turn
going to decrease your average kinetic energy.
Boiling point
- Boiling point is where the liquid phase of the tubs the substance goes to the
gaseous phase of that substance. The amount of pressure builds up when
some of the liquid molecules evaporates.
