Question

Which of the following statements is true regarding the particle structure of liquids? Particles of a liquid are:

  1. Very close together, so the liquid cannot easily change its shape.
  2. Fast-moving, so they fill the volume of their container.
  3. Relatively close together, so they cannot be easily compressed.
  4. Very far apart, so they have plenty of room to move around.

hintHint:

Liquid can take up the shape of the container in which it is kept.

The correct answer is: Relatively close together, so they cannot be easily compressed.


    • Intermolecular forces f attraction are intermediate is liquid.
    • Intermolecular space is more in liquids than in solids.
    • Liquids take up the shape of the container in which it is kept.
    • Particles of a liquid are relatively close together, so they can be easily compressed.
