Measure of the resistance of a liquid to flow, which is affected by the size and shape of particles, and generally increases
as the temperature decreases and as intermolecular forces increase.
The resistance of this syrup to flow is viscosity.
Surface Tension
The energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid by a given amount; results from an uneven distribution of
attractive forces
The inward pull from the interior of the water particles cause it to form into a drop.
.
Surfactant
A compound, such as soap, that lowers the surface tension of water by disrupting
hydrogen bonds between water molecules; also called a surface active agent.
