Boiling Point
A bulk phenomenon in which the atmospheric pressure equals the vapor pressure of the liquid, causing the liquid to become a vapor. Direct to IMF
Surface Tension
A surface phenomenon in which an inward force reduces the surface area of a liquid. This is why liquids like H2O bead up on windows in the rain. Direct to IMF
Capillary Action
A surface phenomenon in which the liquid climbs the walls of the container because of IMF. Direct to IMF
Viscosity
The tendency of a liquid to resist pouring because of IMF attraction to bulk solution. Direct to IMF
Heat of Vaporization (Enthalpy)
The energy in IMF that must be overcome for a liquid on the surface to vaporize. Direct to IMF
Vapor Pressure
The pressure of the vapor above the surface of a liquid. Inverse to IMF
Evaporation Rate
How quickly a liquid will vaporize from the surface of a liquid. Inverse to IMF
