What is the shape and particle motion and density of a liquid?
Haileymcphee123
Unlike a solid, a liquid has no defined shape. It is able to take the shape of a container and flow freely.
It maintains a fairly constant density. Its density is higher than a gas, but less than a solid.
The particles have only temporary bindings, allowing them to travel freely.

What is the shape and particle motion and density of a solid?
Solid has -Defined Shape -Defined Volume The particle motion is as, they can vibrate, but they can't actually move from one place to another. The denisty is.. D=M/V Density = mass/volume
Give one property in which liquids and gases differ?
A liquid has a define shape but a gas has no define shape
Do liquid have shape?
A liquid has an indefinite shape. It takes the shape of its container.
How does this change in volume affect the density of solids liquids and gases?
mass is mass for solid, liquid, and gas. density of solid > density of liquid > density of gas volume of solid < volume of liquid < volume of gas There are some exceptions to "density of solid > density of liquid" and "volume of solid < volume of liquid", with some of them being ice / water and rock / magma.
How do liquids take shape of the container they are poured into?
The different layers are formed because the two liquids are not compatible, or do not mix well. The order of the layers is always from the densest liquid on the bottom to the least dense liquid on top. For example, oil and water, water is denser so it sinks to the bottom and the oil floats. Liquids may form layers whether or not they are of equal volume.

What matter has a high density and an indefinite shape?
This is a liquid.
Does the constant motion of the particles in a liquid cause the liquid to take the shape of its container?
Yes, pressure in the liquid caused by its molecules constantly being in motion force it to take on the shape of its container (within limits).
Is upthrust stronger than gravity?
It depends on the object's shape and its density and that of the liquid in which it is put.
Does the density of a liquid change with the shape of a container?
No. the density is a characteristic of the liquid itself and not dependant on the container holding the liquid. Think of it this way: would the boiling point of a liquid change with the shape of a container? Another thought: think of a very rich, dense chocolate cake, as opposed to a very light angel food cake. You can have a very thin slice of the chocolate cake, or a ridiculously decadent slab. both pieces have the same quality of denseness, even if one is much more fun to eat.
Does the pressure of a liquid depend on its density?
Density is an intrinsic property, and as such it does not depend on the size of the object. A drop of water will have a density of 1g/ml whether it is a big drop, or a very small drop.
Give one property in which liquids and gases differ?
A liquid has a define shape but a gas has no define shape
What state of matter has a atomic spacing that is close together and indefinite shape?
Liquids! Indefinite shape with low density is gases.
What are the characterstics of liquid?
It has a fixed mass, volume and density at a fixed temperature. It does not have a fixed shape. It is incompressible.
What can a force do?
a force is something that you apply to an object- it can move-change shape-change direction-slow it down-make it faster
Why drop of liquid acquire spherical shape?
A sphere has the most efficient ratio between the material's mass and its density.
How do the position and movement of particle's in a liquid help to explain the shape and volume of the liquid?
because when the atoms meet up in the gases they separate and form more gases of matter. that's basically it!
