Question

15. Describe the molecular model for a liquid. How
does it explain that a liquid has no definite shape.
but has a definite volume ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

In a liquid, the particles are still in close contact, so liquids have a definite volume. ... However, because the particles can move about each other rather freely, a liquid has no definite shape and takes a shape dictated by its container.

Answer 2

Here the molecules are less tightly packed as compared to solids and also there is lesser force of intermolecular attraction. The intermolecular distance is greater than that in the solids. Thus , they do not have a definite shape but acquire the shape of the vessel in which they are contained but have a definite volume at a given temperature.
