surface tension
the elastic like force of attraction that allows the liquid to form beads on a substance
solution
a mixture of two substances in which the solid breaks down into the smallest particle of the substance solutions are clear and each substance retains its original chemical and physical property’s
viscosity
the resistance of liquid to flow it is a property that depends on the size of the molecules the forces of attraction and the tempature
