FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is viscosity?

Back

Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. It describes how thick or sticky a fluid is.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the atomic structure of glass at room temperature?

Back

Glass has a disordered amorphous structure, meaning its atoms are not arranged in a regular pattern like in crystalline solids.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Why are old glass windows thicker at the bottom?

Back

Old glass windows are thicker at the bottom because the glass was manufactured unevenly, and the thicker side was intentionally placed at the bottom for stability.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How can you compare the viscosities of glass and plastic?

Back

To compare their viscosities, try to deform both samples at room temperature; glass will resist flow much more than plastic, indicating higher viscosity.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How does the viscosity of honey compare to that of water?

Back

Honey has a higher viscosity than water, meaning it flows more slowly.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the difference between crystalline and amorphous solids?

Back

Crystalline solids have a well-ordered structure, while amorphous solids, like glass, have a disordered arrangement of atoms.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What factors can affect the viscosity of a liquid?

Back

Factors that can affect viscosity include temperature, pressure, and the composition of the liquid.
