The 10 properties of liquid and example pictures

1. Properties of
liquids
 SURFACE TENSION
 CAPILLARY ACTION
 VISCOSITY
 INCOMPRESSIBILITY
 DIFFUSIBILITY
 EVAPORATION
 COOLING EFFECT OF EVAPORATION
 VAPOR PRESSURE
 BOILING POINT
 HEAT OF VAPORIZATION

2. Surface tension
 Is the force that causes the
molecules on the surface of a
liquid to “tighten their hold to one
another”, creating the effect of a
thin membrane on the surface.

3. Cohesion
 Cohesion refers to the attraction of molecules to
other molecules of the same kind.

4. Cohesion creates Surface Tension

7. Adhesion

8. Adhesion is the attraction of one kind of
molecule to a different kind, and it can be quite strong for
water, especially with other molecules bearing positive or
negative charges.

10. Capillary action
 describes the spontaneous flow of a liquid into a narrow tube
or porous material. This movement does not require the force
of gravity to occur

11. Adhesion enables water to “climb”
upwards through thin glass tubes
(called capillary tubes) placed in a
beaker of water. This upward motion
against gravity, known as capillary
action, depends on the attraction
between water molecules and the
glass walls of the tube (adhesion), as
well as on interactions between water
molecules (cohesion).

13. Viscosity

14. Viscosity is a measure of how much a liquid
resists flowing freely.

16. Incompressibility
of liquid
Liquid molecules are already close touching one
another so when force is applied, it can be
compress a little. Compared to gas there is a
great compression.

18. Diffusibility
A property of liquid that makes another
liquid or a solid may dissolve or diffuse
through it.

19. Evaporation

20. Evaporation is the process by which an element
or compound transitions from its liquid state to its gaseous state below
the temperature at which it boils; in particular, the process by which liquid water
enters the atmosphere as water vapor.

22. Cooling effect of
evaporation
Evaporative cooling uses the fact that
water will absorb a relatively large
amount of heat in order to evaporate.

23. Vapor pressure
In a close container, the space above
the liquid becomes saturated with
vapor and an equilibrium state exists
between the liquid and vapor.

24. Boiling point
Is a temperature at which the vapor
pressure of a liquid is equal to the
external pressure.

25. Heat of
vaporization
Energy required to change a liquid
at its boiling point.
