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 type of intermolecular forces occur in highly volatile liquids?
London Dispersion
What property of molecules gives solids and liquids their definite volumes?
most likely the intermolecular forces. Solids have stronger intermolecular forces due to them being in closer proximity and contact between each other as opposed to liquids and gases.
Why the vapour pressure of solids are far less than those of liquids?
The vapour pressure of solids are far less than those of liquid because solids have fixed arrangement of molecules and between atom of solids their is strong intermolecular forces that held the molecules in place and the molecules of liquid have less intermolecular forces as compared to solids.
Why are liquids and gas's not stable?
because of intermolecular interactions and also possible of polarizing effect
Why unlike gases liquids and solids can not be compressed easily?
Intermolecular forces in gases are lower.
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.
What is the difference about the intermolecular forces of attraction between the phases that allows fluids and gases to flow but prevent solids from flowing?
In gases and liquids intermolecular forces are weak.
