FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Kinetic-Molecular Theory Noun
[ki-net-ik-mo-lek-yuh-ler thee-uh-ree]
Back
Kinetic-Molecular Theory
A model explaining the behavior of matter by considering the motion of its particles and the forces between them.
Example: This diagram shows that matter is made of particles whose movement (kinetic energy) increases with temperature, changing the state from solid to liquid to gas.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Incompressible Adjective
[in-kuhm-pres-uh-buhl]
Back
Incompressible
A property of a substance that resists being compressed, meaning its volume changes very little under applied pressure.
Example: This diagram shows that particles in solids and liquids are packed closely together, leaving little space for compression, making them incompressible.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Fluidity Noun
[floo-id-i-tee]
Back
Fluidity
The ability of a substance, such as a gas or a liquid, to flow and to diffuse.
Example: This diagram shows that in a liquid, particles are close but not in fixed positions, allowing them to slide past one another, which is why liquids can flow.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Viscosity Noun
[vis-kos-i-tee]
Back
Viscosity
A measure of the resistance of a liquid to flow, determined by intermolecular forces, particle shape, and temperature.
Example: This image compares how water, oil, and honey flow to show different levels of viscosity, which is a liquid's resistance to flowing.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Surface Tension Noun
[sur-fis ten-shuhn]
Back
Surface Tension
The energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid, caused by the net inward pull on surface particles.
Example: This diagram shows that liquid molecules inside are pulled in all directions, but molecules at the surface are pulled only inwards, creating a tight "skin".
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Surfactant Noun
[sur-fak-tnt]
Back
Surfactant
A compound that lowers the surface tension of a liquid, such as water, by disrupting intermolecular bonds.
Example: A surfactant molecule has a 'water-loving' (hydrophilic) head and a 'water-hating' (hydrophobic) tail, allowing it to connect water with oils and dirt.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Cohesion Noun
[koh-hee-zhuhn]
Back
Cohesion
The intermolecular force of attraction that exists between identical molecules within a substance.
Example: This diagram shows how water molecules, which are all the same substance, stick together because of an attraction called a hydrogen bond.
