2. Surface Tension The resistance to an increase in its surface area (polar molecules, liquid metals). Image: Armin Kübelbeck

3. Capillary Action Spontaneous rising of a liquid in a narrow tube. Illustration of capillary action for large and small bore capillaries, and for positive and negative contact angles.

4. Viscosity Liquids are fluids – they FLOW. Viscosity is the resistance to flow.  High viscosity  High viscosity is an indication of strong intermolecular forces Glycerine, also called glycerol, is a liquid with a high viscosity

5. Viscosity of Glycerol as a Function of Temperature
