Total Energy of Liquid in Kinetic Energy

A liquid in motion possesses pressure energy, kinetic energy and potential energy.

Kinetic energy: It is the energy possessed by a liquid by virtue of its motion.

If m is the mass of the liquid moving with a velocity v, the kinetic energy of the liquid = ½  mv².

Kinetic energy per unit mass: [½  mv²]/m = v²/2

Covalent bonds determine:

• molecular shape
• bond energies
• chemical properties.
