Explain why the particles of a liquid are able to pour into a container and then take on the shape of the container?
The particles of a liquid are not chemically bound to the other particles (the particles are generally molecules) around them. They do have some attraction for the other particles, which is why they are a liquid rather than a gas, however, the attraction applies equally to all the particles in the liquid, rather than being a specific attachment to neighboring particles. Consequently the particles move independently of each other, which makes liquids shapeless and able to be poured and to take the shape of a container.
What else can I help you with?
Why does liquid follow the form of its container?
Liquid takes the shape of its container because the particles are not held in a fixed position like in a solid, allowing them to flow and adjust to the shape of the container. This is due to the weak intermolecular forces between liquid particles, which results in the ability to flow and conform to the shape of the container.
What is a state where particles take the shape of the container and have a definite volume?
The state you are describing is a liquid. In a liquid, particles are close together but can move past one another, allowing the liquid to take the shape of its container while still maintaining a definite volume.
Does liquid have unfixed shape?
No, liquids do not have a fixed shape. They take the shape of the container they are in.
Does a liquid have a definite shape and volume at room temperature?
Yes. A liquid has a definite shape and when a liquid is poured into a container, the liquid takes on the shape of the container.
How does liquid differ from a gas?
Liquid has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container, while gas has neither a definite volume nor shape and expands to fill its container. In a liquid, particles are close together and move past each other, while in a gas, particles are far apart and move rapidly in all directions.

The shape of a liquid depends upon its?
The shape of a liquid is determined by the container in which it is placed. Liquids take the shape of their container because their particles are able to flow and move around freely, allowing them to conform to the shape of the container.
How does the movement of particles in a liquid help to explain the shape and volume in a liquid?
Because its particles are free to move, a liquid has no definite shape. However, it does have a definite volume.
Does the constant motion of the particles in a liquid cause the liquid to take the shape of its container?
Yes, the constant motion of particles in a liquid allows it to flow and take the shape of its container. This is because the particles have enough kinetic energy to move around and fill the available space.
What substance has particles that are close together but can change shape depending on its container?
A liquid has particles that are close together but still able to change shape depending on its container. The particles are able to flow and take the shape of the container they are put in, allowing liquids to easily adapt to different shapes and volumes.
What is a state where particles take the shape of the container and have a definite volume?
The state you are describing is a liquid. In a liquid, particles are close together but can move past one another, allowing the liquid to take the shape of its container while still maintaining a definite volume.
Does liquid have unfixed shape?
No, liquids do not have a fixed shape. They take the shape of the container they are in.
What takes a shape of the container solid liquid or gas?
A gas takes the shape of its container because the particles are far apart and move freely. Liquids also take the shape of the container but have a fixed volume due to closer particle arrangement. Solids have both fixed shape and volume because their particles are tightly packed.
A liquid takes the shape of its container and keeps the same volume?
Due to the constant motion of the particles in a liquid, the particles could theoretically keep moving so that the liquid never takes a form. But putting the liquid into a container effectively throws a huge wall in front of the moving particles that they cannot get past. the particles hit the sides of the container and change direction. The liquid then remains in that shape despite the fact that its particles are still moving (hitting the sides of the container). Because a liquid has stronger intermolecular forces than gases, the liquid stays in liquid form and does not just evaporate once it is put into a container and its particles hit an obstacle.
Does a solid need a container to keep its shape?
liquid take shape of the container because the liquid particles stay together but they still more around. solid does not take the shape of the container, because solid is solid. The molecules cannot form the of the container because the molecules a very near each other.Only liquid can take the shape of the container. Thank you.
Why the particle's of a liquid are able to pour in a container that is on the shape of that container?
The particles in a liquid are able to fill the shape of a container because they are not fixed in position and can flow easily past one another. This property is due to the lack of a fixed shape and volume in liquids, allowing them to conform to and fill the shape of the container they are poured into.
How does the movement of particles in a liquid help explain the shape and volume of liquids?
