chem Flashcards
gasses
can change shape and change volume
they are fluid and compressible
fluid
A substance that flows, deforms, and changes shape when subject to a force, or stress
comprehensibility
the measure of how much a given volume of matter decreases when placed under pressure
liquids
exhibit fluidity and lack compressibility
liquid individual particle
do no not have fixed positions in the liquid
liquid interparticle
forces of attraction limit the range of motion so particles remmain closely
fluidity
the ability to flow
properties of the liquid state
density, viscosity, surface tension, and capillary action
density
the relationship between the mass of the substance and how much space it takes up
Density of liquids
in most substances a liquid is less dense then its solid state
water is en execption
Viscosity
is a measure of the resistance of a liquid to flow
viscosity relates to tem, forces between particles, and the shape of the particles
surface tension
surface tension is the energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid
it is a measure of the inward pull by particles and forces in the interior of the liquid
capillary action
capillary action is the movement of a liquid up or into a narrow tube due to adhesive and cohesive forces
adhesion
attraction for unlike substances
cohesion
attraction for like substances
