Properties of Liquids

This is an attractive force between the molecules of a liquid.

• adhesive force

• cohesive force

• kinetic energy

• repulsive forces

What word describes when water is attracted to other substances?

• cohesion

• adhesion

• capillary action

• surface tension

A general definition of cohesion is the attraction of:

• particles of the same substance

• particles of a different substance

• particles of both the same and different substances

• particles of neither the same or different substances

Capillary Action is the

• property of water that allows ice to float on the surface of liquid water

• property of water that allows it to dissolve polar substances

• sticking of water molecules to other surfaces

• property of water that allows water to move up a thin tube (or the stem of a plant) by itself

What property of water allows water to flow against gravity?

• Polarity

• Cohesion

• Capillary Action

• Adhesion

What is viscosity?

• A liquid's resistance to flow.

• a liquids flow.

• an interaction of the liquid molecule with a solid surface

• an attraction of liquid molecules with another liquid molecule

Liquids with very high viscosity flow very _______________________.

• fast

• not at all

• slow

• whenever it wants

As temperature increases viscosity _______________.

• increases

• stays the same

• decreases

• reaches a value of zero

Rain drops exhibit a teardrop shape instead of a spherical shape because of

• low temperature

• surface Tension

• viscosity

• gravity

Refer to the picture of water sticking to a leaf; this is occurring because of:

• adhesion

• cohesion

• kinetic energy

• temperature
