1 Properties of Liquids Graphic:

2 Surface Tension The resistance to an increase in its
surface area (polar molecules, liquid metals). Image: Armin Kübelbeck

3 Capillary Action Spontaneous rising of a liquid in a narrow tube.
Illustration of capillary action for large and small bore capillaries, and for positive and negative contact angles.

4 Viscosity Liquids are fluids – they FLOW. Viscosity is the resistance to flow. Glycerine, also called glycerol, is a liquid with a high viscosity High viscosity is an indication of strong intermolecular forces

5 Viscosity of Glycerol as a Function of Temperature
