| dispersion forces | electrons in the electron clouds. Primarily occurs between identical non-polar molecules (diatomics). |
| dipole-dipole | Attraction between oppositely charged regions of polar molecules |
| hydrogen bond | A strong dipole-dipole attraction between hydrogen and a small highly electronegative atom with at least one lone electron pair |
| intermolecular forces | a weak force that exists between neighboring particles |
| capillary action | the movement of a fluid through small openings |
| surfactants | A compound such as soap or Shout, that lowers the surface tension of water by disrupting the hydrogen bonds between water molecules |
| surface tension | imbalance of force that exists at the surface |
| viscosity | A physical property of a liquid that measures its resistance to flow |
| fluidity | ability to flow |
