hi joanna
OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):
Intermolecular forces hold molecules together. Which a substance is low in viscosity, do you think the molecules will be held very close or loosely?
OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):
Hi :-)
OpenStudy (melodious):
i didnt get ur point
OpenStudy (melodious):
can u explain to me pls

hi les
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i dont know how to explain it but i kinda understand whats shes trying to say
OpenStudy (melodious):
thats fine
OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):
When viscosity is high, the molecules are held together tightly, which means the intermolecular forces are strong.

is that why a paperclip would be able to float in water?

paper clip is lighter so maybe cause of that
OpenStudy (melodious):
i dont know really... just a guess

The struggle
OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):
I think that is because of surface tension.
OpenStudy (melodious):
struggle???????

yeah even i think so joanna
OpenStudy (melodious):
so bye guys
OpenStudy (melodious):
meet u some time later with more doubts
OpenStudy (melodious):
:D

The surface tension is higher right? Joanna?

The surface tension is high enough to hold the paper clip on the top, since it is fairly light and spread out over a relatively large surface area.

OK thank you

You're welcome
