Term
Viscosity
Definition

resistance of a liquid to flow

 

depends on: 

shape of molecules 

temperature

Term
Surface Tension
Definition

Energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid by a unit amount

 

 

Ex:

Mercury beading up

Water beading up on waxy surface

Term
Capillary Effect
Definition

Mercury level lowered

 

Water level rises

Term
Cohesion
Definition
Attractive forces between liquid molecules
Term
Adhesion
Definition

Attractive forces between liquid and glass.

 

 

-very weak between glass & mercury

-very strong between glass & water

Term
Fusion
Definition
solid to liquid
Term
Sublimination
Definition
Solid to gas
Term
Deposition
Definition
Gas to solid
Term
Vapor Pressure
Definition

Partial pressure of the vapor over the liquid at equilibrium.

 

Increases with increase in temp

 

Depends on nature of liquid

 

Term
Volatile liquids
Definition

Evaporate easily

 

Have high vapor pressure

Term
Boiling Point
Definition
Temp at which vapor pressure of a liquid equals atmospheric pressure
Term
Normal Boiling point
Definition
boiling temp at 1 atm or 760 torr
Term
Freezing Point
Definition
Temp at which a pure liquid changes to crystalline solid
Term
Melting point
Definition
for pure liquid identical to freezing point
Term
Pure Substances
Definition
have a sharp melting point
Term
Impure substances
Definition

Have a lower melting point

 

melt over a temperature range

Term
triple point
Definition
temp and pressure at which a solid, liquid, and gas phase are at equilibrium with eachother
Term
Critical Point
Definition
Vapor pressure curve of liquid ends
Term
critical temp
Definition
highest temp at which a substance can exist at a liquid
Term
Critical Pressure
Definition

Vapor pressure of a liquid at the critical temperature

 

minimum pressure needed to liquify a gas at its critical temp

Term
Crystalline Solids
Definition

have a well ordered internal structure

 

repeats itself

3D wallpaper

Term
Amorphous Solids or Glasses
Definition

have a disordered internal structure

 

are obtained by cooling a liquid fast enough that its units stay in random positions
