A liquid follows the form of its container because its particles are far apart and there for do not hold any specific shape.

When a liquid boils do bubbles form throughout the liquid?

yes it would because when the liquid boils the entire container of liquid is heated to the boiling point, meaning that the liquid would turn to the vapor form all around the liquid.


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.


Is there a liquid with no meniscus ever?

No, all liquids will have some form of meniscus due to the interaction between the liquid's molecules and the container's surface. The shape and size of the meniscus may vary depending on the liquid and the container material.


Why do you use a container to measure the volume of a liquid?

Using a container to measure the volume of a liquid provides an accurate measurement. Containers are designed with calibrated markings that allow for precise readings. Additionally, containers help prevent spillage and ensure that the liquid is contained and measured correctly.


How does adhesion and cohesion of liquid molecules form in meniscus?

Adhesion occurs when liquid molecules are attracted to the surface of a solid like a container, causing the liquid to stick to the solid. Cohesion, on the other hand, is the attraction between the liquid molecules themselves, causing them to stick together. In the case of a meniscus, adhesion between the liquid and solid container causes the liquid to curve up or down, while cohesion helps keep the liquid molecules together to form a curved surface.

Does liquid keep a certain shape?

Liquid does not hold a specific shape on its own and takes the shape of its container due to its property of fluidity. It flows and fills its container without a set form.


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.
