In liquids, the bond between molecules is not very strong, they are loosely attached to each other.. They have a definite mass. However they do not have a definite shape, they take the form of the container they are stored in.

∙ 13y agothe particles in a liquid have a fairly strong force of attraction. The attraction is not as strong as a solid were the particles are in a fixed position but in liquids the particles are able to roll over each other causing it to take shape of it's container, but liquid can hardly be squeezed because the particles are so close together, unlike particles in gas which are able to float around their container.
Or to make it simple:
The particles in a Liquid vibrate not to violently but harder than solids and the are placed at random but always touching.

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
How do the molecules of a gas behave?
loose
Why do solids behave like liquids at certain temperatures?
Solids can behave like a liquid only when the temperature is raised from the temperature at which it is solid . Then the force of attraction between the molecules in the solid weakens as the temp increases , then finally move apart thus volume increases and becomes less rigid . Hence behaves like a liquid and finally at melting point it becomes liquid only .
Is a liquid a very structured molecule?
Molecules of all compounds are structured.The liquid as a state of matter is not very structured.
Do liquid molecules have a strong attraction to one another?
no, because liquid molecules spread from one another

How do liquid particles behave?
The molecules in a liquid are bound by moderate attractions, neither weak nor strong. So, liquid molecules move around a bit, but they are not as free-flowing as the molecules of a gas. Still, attractions are continually created and broken in a liquid.
How do the molecules of a gas behave?
loose
Why doesn't water vapor behave like an ideal gas?
Water does not behave exactly like an ideal gas because water is a polar molecule. And, the polar molecules of water, if properly oriented in space, have strong attraction to one another, and may form a hydrogen bond and condense back into liquid form. Also, when a gaseous water molecule has a collision with liquid water, if it is oriented in the right way (i.e. an oxygen atom comes into contact with a hydrogen atom), it will move back into the liquid phase. So, because water molecules move back into the liquid phase much more easily than ideal gas molecules, water vapor does not behave exactly as an ideal gas would.
What happens to a fluid when it heats?
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.

Can you choose some solids that behave as a liquid and explain why they do this?
Can you choose some solids that behave as a liquid and explain why they do this? Is jelly a solid that behaves as a liquid?? and is it because they arent very strong.
What is plastic rock?
Plastic Rock is a rock that behaves something between a liquid and a solid, due to the amount of water in between the molecules.Water in between the molecules of the rock, makes it a somewhat liquid. When any pressure or push on the rock makes the water leave from the molecules, and makes it harder for the molecules to behave like a liquid, so, the rock becomes a solid.Information found from Exploring Creation with Physical Science by Dr. Jay L. Wile.
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 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.
How do molecules behave during the solid liquid and gas phases?
When an object is solid, molecules get packed in a place. They cannot move freely. The force of attraction is great. So it gives the object a solid shape. When the object is liquid, molecules Move A little bit freely, so the force of attraction is less when the object is liquid. And when the object is gas, the molecules move very freely. They bump onto each other. The force of attraction is very very very less. That's why, gases move freely and go away.
