Kinetic Molecular Theory
Described the behavior of gases in terms of particles in motion; makes several assumptions about size, motion, and energy of gas partials.
Viscosity
Liquid resistance to flow
the resistance of a liquid to flow, affected by the size and shape of particles, and generally increases as the temperature decreases and as intermolecular force increase.
elastic collision
Collison when there is no loss of total kinetic energy. Kinetic energy can be transferred between the colliding particles, but the total kinetic energy of the particles remain the same.
freezing point
The temperature at which a liquid changes into a (crystalline) solid
Melting point
for a crystalline solid, the temperature at which the forces holding a crystal lattice together are broken and it becomes a liquid
lattice
Regular arrangement of particles.
Pressure
force applied per unit area
surface tension
the energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid by a given amount; results from an even distribution of attractive forces.
Evaporation
the process in which vaporization occurs only at the surface of a liquid
Temperature
a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter
Heat
a form of energy that flows from a warmer object to a cooler object
Vaporization
The energy-requiring process by which a liquid changes to a gas or vapor.
manometer
instrument to measure pressure
Hydrophilic
Attracted to water
Hydrophobic
Isn't attracted to water
