liquids freeze and boil.liquids:Do not keep their shape, they take the shape of the container they are inFlowCannot be compressed (keep the same volume)Liquids are used where we need something to flow e.g. for making a drink, or when we need something to take up the shape of a container such as a mould. A good example of this is making a jelly. The jelly (solid) has to be turned into a liquid (in this case by dissolving) so that it takes up the shape of the mould. It is then left to set (i.e. go solid again) so that it keeps its shape when removed from the mould.

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 isotropic properties of liquids?

Isotropic properties of liquids refer to their uniform characteristics in all directions, meaning that their physical and mechanical properties, such as density, viscosity, and refractive index, remain consistent regardless of the direction of measurement. This isotropy is a result of the random arrangement of molecules in liquids, allowing them to behave similarly when subjected to stress or external forces. Unlike solids, where anisotropic behavior can occur due to structural orientation, liquids maintain this uniformity under normal conditions.


What are the dissolving properties of the 3 liquids?

To assess the dissolving properties of three liquids, we typically consider their polarity, solubility, and interactions with solutes. Polar liquids, like water, effectively dissolve ionic and polar substances due to strong dipole interactions. Nonpolar liquids, such as hexane, dissolve nonpolar substances but struggle with ionic or polar compounds. Lastly, polar protic solvents (e.g., ethanol) can dissolve a range of substances due to both hydrogen bonding and dipole interactions, making them versatile solvents in various applications.


What can liquids in a mixture have different?

Liquids in a mixture can have different densities, boiling points, solubilities, and polarities. These differences can result in liquids separating out from the mixture or forming layers based on their unique properties.


What are the properties of a liquid that was formed by two gases?

This is a mixture of liquids (ex.: liquid air).

Are all liquids the same?

No, all liquids are not the same. Liquids can have different properties such as density, viscosity, and surface tension which make them unique from one another. Additionally, liquids can have varying chemical compositions and phase states which further distinguish them.

What are pure liquids and how do they differ from other types of liquids?

Pure liquids are substances that consist of only one type of molecule, such as water or ethanol. They differ from other types of liquids, like solutions or mixtures, because they do not contain any other substances mixed in. This means that pure liquids have a consistent composition and properties throughout, unlike mixtures which can vary in composition and properties.
