Test 1 A.TRUE or FALSE. Write T if your answer is true or F if false on the line
provided for every number. Please follow instructions strictly.
_____1. Surface tension explains why drops of water are spherical in shape.
_____2. Due to surface tension, liquid tends to minimize the force on the surface like
a taut skin
covering the interior.
_____3. Surface tension results from the competition between cohesive forces and
adhesive forces of
molecules .
_____4. Adhesive forces are intermolecular forces within the liquid.
_____5. Cohesive forces are forces between two different substances.
_____6. Capillary action shows water meniscus curving up in a capillary tube.
_____7. Capillary action also explains the absorbing property of paper towel and
cotton.
_____8. Molecules of gases are far from each other thus they are incompressible.
_____9. Molecules of gases dont exert pressure at all thus they diffuse easily.
____10. Strong intermolecular attraction exists between gas molecules.
____11. Gas molecules are moving bodies, thus they exert pressure.
____12. Kinetic energy is energy of an object due to its motion.
____13. As the temperature goes higher, the molecules move slower and as the
temperature goes
lower, the molecules move faster.
____14. The attraction of molecules is greatest in gases and least in solids.
____15. Solid molecules are at constant and chaotic motion.
Test 1 B.IDENTIFICATION. Write your answer on the line provided before each
number.
