Precisely because of the size of the molecules. Larger molecules have a greater tendency to stick together, because there are more places where they can interact, and thus, a greater total force.

Is a solute a solid liquid or gas?

An alcohol solution is obtained when alcohol is dissolved in water (or in any other organic liquid solvents). So the alcohol solution is liquid.


What is cricondentherm and cricondenbar and hydrocarbon critical point?

Cricondentherm is the highest temperature at which a mixture of hydrocarbons can exist as a liquid and gas in equilibrium, while cricondenbar is the highest pressure at which the same equilibrium occurs. These terms are crucial in thermodynamics and petroleum engineering, particularly in understanding phase behavior of hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbon critical point is the specific temperature and pressure at which a pure hydrocarbon transitions into a supercritical fluid, exhibiting properties of both liquid and gas. Together, these concepts help in the design and optimization of processes involving hydrocarbon extraction and processing.

Is a germ a solid liquid or gas?

A germ is a microorganism, which can exist in various forms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. These microorganisms can exist in different states such as solid (spores), liquid (bacterial culture in broth), or gas (airborne viruses).


Can cocaine turn to a liquid?

YeS, it can also turn to a gas... As can all matter in the universe. Everything has a state. You would just need to know it's melting point and you could turn it to liquid cocain.


Why ethyl alcohol is a liquid while ethyl chloride is a gas?

Ethyl alcohol is a liquid because strong hydrogen bonding in it brings the molecules closer together while methyl chloride does not form hydrogen bonding,weaker forces exist between molecules of methyl and chloride due to which they lie at distance from each other till gas form.

Are hydrocarbons planar?

Not necessarily. Hydrocarbons can exist in various conformations, including planar and non-planar structures. The geometry of a hydrocarbon molecule depends on the number and arrangement of its carbon-carbon bonds.


Are all solutions must be in the liquid state?

No, solutions can exist in different states of matter, not just in the liquid state. Solutions can exist in the solid, liquid, or gas state depending on the solvent and solute involved in the mixture.
