78
Q

Present in all bodies

100
Q

What are adhesion forces?

A

Attraction forces between different molecular species

101
Q

What are the cohesive forces in solids?

A

Strong, they prevent solids from moving, giving them their own volume and shape

102
Q

What are the cohesive forces in gasses?

A

Weak, molecules are free to move with uniform motion until they collide with other molecules, have neither shape nor volume

103
Q

What are the cohesive forces in liquids?

A

Not strong enough to prevent motion but stronger than in gasses. They have the liquid take the shape of the container

104
Q

What is the resultant of all cohesive forces equal to when the molecule is totally immersed in the liquid?

A

0, cohesion forces are all in the same direction

105
Q

What happens when molecules are located near the surface of liquid?

A

They interact with both he underlying liquid molecules and overlying vapour molecules (but liquid molecules are stronger)
