There are relatively strong forces between the particles (atoms or molecules), that keep them together.
What else can I help you with?
Why does a liquid expand to fill the container completely?
A liquid expands to fill the container completely because the particles in the liquid are in constant motion and have enough kinetic energy to overcome the forces of attraction between them. This allows the liquid to flow and spread out evenly to occupy all available space within the container.
Why can a liquid expand to take the shape of its container but not expand to fill the container?
It doesn't expand to take the shape of its container, but it flows because the particles can slide past each other, and the bonds are loose, and not completely broken, whereas in gases, the bonds between particles have been broken down, and so they can move apart and fill the container.
A container of this substance is always completely full?
A container of liquid is always completely full, as the liquid takes the shape of the container and fills all available space.
Does liquid takes up a definite amount of space?
Yes, a liquid does take up a definite amount of space, which is to say that it has a definite volume. A liquid takes the shape of its container but does not expand to fill it completely like a gas would.
What describes the properties of a liquid?
it completely fills its container, takes the shape of its container
List properties of a liquid?
A liquid has a definite volume but an indefinite shape. It takes the shape of its container.
What is the difference of gas and liquid compressed?
Gas is compressible and will expand to fill any container it is put in. Liquid is not compressible and will maintain a fixed volume regardless of the container it is in.
A sample of matter completely fills a cylindrical 15.0-liter container. The sample is transferred to a spherical 25.0-liter container which is also completely filled by the sample. Is the sample a liq?
The sample is likely a liquid. Liquids have the ability to take the shape of their container while maintaining a constant volume, which allows them to fill both the cylindrical and spherical containers completely. If the sample were a gas, it would expand to fill the entire volume of the container, regardless of the shape. Thus, the fact that the sample fills both containers suggests it is a liquid.
Why not measure amounts of liquid when hot?
Heat = expansion. The water molecules expand when heated. The container will expand, and then the measurment will be off?
Do liquid and gas take up the same space as the container?
Gases will expand or contract to the volume of the container they are in, so gases do. However, liquids have fixed volumes, so they do not. In other words, a liter of water will remain a liter of water whether it is in a bucket or a swimming pool. However, the same quantity of gas may have different volumes depending on the container.
Matter phase in which a substance will take on the shape of its container but not expand to fill the containe?
liquid phase
What causes a liquid to bend and take the shape of its container but not fill it completely?
In a liquid, you have atoms or molecules which are bonded to each other to a sufficient degree that they stay close to each other, so they do not just expand as a gas would, to fill a container, but they are not bonded so strongly as to become a solid, so their relative positions can freely shift, resulting in a shapeless substance that takes the shape of its container.
