Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Viscosity refers to the resistance of a liquid to flow. Surface tension refers to the tendency of a liquid surface to minimize its surface area, while capillary action refers to the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, and in opposition to, external forces such as gravity. Adhesion and cohesion refer to the attraction between different substances (e.g. water and glass) and the attraction between molecules of the same substance, respectively.
