TERMS2LEARN#1

an attractive force between water molecules: water to water

• solution

• cohesion

• polar molecule

• surface tension

attractive force that causes water molecules to stick other molecules

• solution

• adhesion

• solute

• polar molecule

tightly packed molecules on the

top of a liquid; caused by cohesion

• surface tension

• adhesion

• Specific Heat or Heat Capacity

• solvent

'Mickey Mouse' molecule, positive at H end and negative at O end; acts like a magnet

• surface tension

• surfactant

• Specific Heat or Heat Capacity

• polar molecule

any factor that can break or weaken a liquids surface tension

• solution

• cohesion

• surfactant

• adhesion

the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of a substance. A lot of energy is needed to raise the temperature of water.

• Specific Heat or Heat Capacity

• polar molecule

• Capillary Action

• solute

when water travels up very narrow tubes against gravity due to the forces of cohesion and adhesion

• Specific Heat or Heat Capacity

• surfactant

• surfactant

• Capillary Action

the substance that is being dissolved

• adhesion

• solute

• solution

• surface tension

the substance (usually a liquid) that another substance is dissolved in

• surfactant

• cohesion

• solvent

• polar molecule

a liquid mixture in which the solute and solvent are evenly distributed

• solution

• cohesion

• Specific Heat or Heat Capacity

• solute
