Mercury: Cohesive
are greater than
adhesive forces.
Viscosity
• The resistance of a liquid to flow.
• The greater the viscosity, the slower the liquid flows.
• Viscosity is expressed in units of centipoise.
• Poise or Stoke is a metric system unit. The SI unit is Pascal-
second
(Pa-s) or Newton-second/meter2 (N-s/m 2). 1 centipoise =
0.001 Pa-s
• Viscosity decreases with increasing temperature (molecules
gain kinetic energy and can more easily overcome forces of
attraction).
• Viscosity Increases as pressure increases.
• Liquids with strong Intermolecular forces have a higher
viscosity.
Vapor pressure
•Pressure exerted by molecules that
have enough energy to escape the
surface.
•As Temperature↑, Vapor Pressure
↑, Evaporation ↑
Liquids with high Vapor Pressure are volatile.
(alcohol evaporates easily)
