Surface Tension

Surface tension is a property of liquids that arises due to the cohesive forces between the molecules at the surface of the liquid. In other words, it is the measure of the attractive force that holds the molecules of a liquid together at the surface. The molecules at the surface of a liquid experience an…

Surface tension

Surface tension is a physical phenomenon that refers to the tendency of the surface of a liquid to resist an external force. It is caused by the cohesive forces between the liquid molecules, which cause them to stick together and create a “skin” or “membrane” on the surface of the liquid. The surface tension of…

Absolute scale of temperature

The absolute scale of temperature is a temperature scale that starts at absolute zero, the theoretical lowest possible temperature where all matter would have zero thermal energy. The most commonly used absolute temperature scale is the Kelvin (K) scale, which is defined such that 0 K is equal to -273.15°C, the temperature at which all…
