A principle that describes the relationship between the temperature and volume of a gas at constant pressure.

• Charles' Law

• Boyle's Law

A principle that describes the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature.

• Charles' Law

• Boyle's Law

The result of an inward pull among the molecules of a liquid that brings the molecules on the surface closer together, causing the surface to act as if it has a thin skin.

• surface tension

• viscosity

• pressure
