Electrostriction
is always a great word to know.
So is fluidity. Does it mean:
| the elasticlike force existing in the surface of a liquid caused by asymmetries in the intermolecular forces between surface molecules |
| the ability of a substance to flow; a measure of this ability, the reciprocal of the coefficient of viscosity |
