Question

Match the vocabulary terms to their definitions.

1. surface tension the attraction between unlike substances
2. cohesion attraction of one particle in a material for another
3. adhesion the change from the liquid to the vapor state
4. evaporation the attraction between molecules at the surface of a liquid column

Answer 1

4 the change from the liquid to the vapor state

2 attraction of one particle in a material for another

3 the attraction between unlike substances

1 the attraction between molecules at the surface of a liquid column

Answer 2

surface tension: the attraction between molecules at the surface of a liquid column

cohesion: attraction of one particle in a material for another

adhesion: the attraction between unlike substances

evaporation: the change from the liquid to the vapor state

Step-by-step explanation: Surface tension is the downward force acting on the surface of liquid due to presence of inter molecular forces or cohesive forces between the particles of liquid.

Cohesion is the attraction between similar molecules. example: force of attraction between water molecules

Adhesion is the attraction between different molecules. example: force of attraction between HCl and water.

Evaporation is the the process in which liquid changes into gaseous state below its boiling point.
