Properties of a solid Flashcards
ratio of mass per unit
density
the molecules of a solid are entirely incompressible.
shape
lack of geometric form
amorphous solids
atoms molecules are arranged in a crystal like pattern
crystalline
tendecy of matter to increase it size in response to an increase of temperature
thermal expansion
the capacity of a solid to allow the transmission of energy
conductivity
tendency of a substance to break
brittleness
ability to be deformed without being damaged.
malleability.
ability to flow
fluidity
measures the resistance of a liquid to flow
viscosity
there is a saying that if it is cold,the more one curls and becomes immovable.
temprature.
it is the energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid by a given quantity
surface tension
the force between identical molecules
cohesion
force between unidentical
adhesion
density mass of the subject compared to its volume
