explain surface tension and viscosity
Answers
Answer:
However, viscosity results due to collaboration among molecules of the identical molecules located in the same material (in case of fluids). Whereas surface tension is determined by the difference of interactions between the molecules of the material (fluid) with the molecules of the material in contact.
Explanation:
Surface Tension- The attractive force exerted upon the surface molecules of a liquid by the molecules beneath that tends to draw the surface molecules into the bulk of the liquid and makes the liquid assume the shape having the least surface area.
Viscosity- The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to deformation at a given rate. For liquids, it corresponds to the informal concept of "thickness": for example, syrup has a higher viscosity than water.
