C) viscosity
D) cohesion
E) specific elasticity

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Surface tension measures the energy needed to increase the surface area of a liquid. Capillary action refers to the movement of a liquid through a small space or tube, viscosity measures a liquid's resistance to flow, cohesion refers to the attraction between molecules of the same substance, and specific elasticity is not a property that exists.
