it can move around more freely(relative to solid). takes shape of whatever it contains.

How do molecules act as they change from gas to liquid?
they change shape
What is true if a liquid and a gas are in equilibrium?
liquid molecules forming a gas and gas molecule forming a liquid are equal in number
Why do water molecules cohere to form a liquid?
Water molecules are already in liquid form.
What happens to the density of a fluid when it is heated?
When the liquid molecules are heated, they move faster so the liquid boils and some molecules becomes gas molecules. When the liquid molecules are heated, they move faster so the liquid boils and some molecules becomes gas molecules.
What is the hypothesis describing the behavior of molecules when a substance changes from a gas to a liquid?
The molecules will become closer together when becoming a liquid.

Why do molecules at the surface of a liquid behave differently from molecules in the interior of the liquid?
In the interior the intermolecular forces of attraction is equal in all directions but the molecules at the surface of liquid experiences unequal intermolecular forces of attraction. the molecules at the surface are free so the adsorb liquid or gaseous molecules
What is the difference between the molecules in a hot solid and hot liquid?
The molecules in a solid vibrate in place. The molecules of a liquid are moving about.
Is a liquid a very structured molecule?
Molecules of all compounds are structured.The liquid as a state of matter is not very structured.
Is the inward force among the molecules of the liquid?
The inward force among the molecules of a liquid is Surface Tension
Do liquid molecules have a strong attraction to one another?
no, because liquid molecules spread from one another
What does movement of molecules in a liquid allow the liquid to do?
Flow
Do molecules have more freedom of movement in the solid state than in the liquid state?
No in a solid the molecules are fixed in position while in a liquid they can move around - that is why a liquid is 'liquid'.
Why a gas would have higher entropy than a liquid?
Gas molecules have fewer constraints on their location, than liquid molecules. Molecules in a liquid have to remain in contact with the other molecules of the liquid, and are limited to a specific volume. Gas molecules can go anywhere, they are not connected to anything. So with more possible locations, gas molecules represent a state of higher entropy or disorder.
