What are the 3 main characteristics of liquids?
Liquids have a definite volume but not a definite shape, they flow and take the shape of their container, and they have intermolecular forces that allow them to stick together but still move around.
Why can't liquids change volume but gasses can?
The intermolecular strength is higher in liquids than in gases.
A description of gases and liquids are?
Gases have neither a definite shape nor a definite volume. Liquids do not have a definite shape, but they DO have a definite volume. Gases have no or little intermolecular forces holding them together, whereas liquids do have substantial intermolecular forces.
Why are liquids usually less dense than a solid of the same substance?
The intermolecular forces are weaker in liquids.
Liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape?
This is because of intermolecular attraction.
Why liquids have a definite volume but no shape?
The intermolecular forces are not sufficiently strong.
What is the effect of the nature of the liquids on the rate of evaporation?
The rate of evaporation is influenced by the nature of the liquid through factors such as intermolecular forces, surface tension, and vapor pressure. Liquids with weaker intermolecular forces and higher vapor pressure tend to evaporate faster compared to liquids with stronger intermolecular forces and lower vapor pressure. Additionally, liquids with lower surface tension may also evaporate more rapidly.
What physical properties of liquid that make them stick in a container?
The intermolecular forces in liquids are not so strong as in solids and liquids take the form of the container.
Why are liquids and gas's not stable?
because of intermolecular interactions and also possible of polarizing effect
Do polar or non polar liquids have a greater capillary action?
Polar liquids have a greater capillary action than nonpolar liquids because polar liquids have molecules that exhibit stronger intermolecular forces, such as hydrogen bonding, which allow them to "climb" up a surface more easily. Nonpolar liquids have weaker intermolecular forces, reducing their capillary action.
Liquids are not rigid why?
Liquids are not rigid because the intermolecular forces of attraction between its molecules are not strong enough to hold them as closely as solids, but they are strong enough to ensure that liquids occupy a definite volume.
