Question

3. Why do liquids take the shape of container into which they are poured?
4 Explain the arrangement of particles in solids, liquids and gases.
5. Write the differences between solids, liquids and gases.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

question 3 Liquids take on the shape of their container because they contain particles that can slide past each other.

question 4 Particles in a: gas are well separated with no regular arrangement. liquid are close together with no regular arrangement.

question 5 Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of atoms, molecules, and/or ions, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases. ... gas are well separated with no regular arrangement. liquid are close together with no regular arrangement. solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.

Answer 2

Answer:

3. liquids take the shape of container into which they are poured because of their intermolecular force of attraction.

4. arrangement of particles in solid: Due to strong force of attraction and very low kinetic, the constituent particles of a solid get closely packed in a definite fashion with minimum interparticle space. The particles get fixed at specified position and unable to move only vibrate about their mean position.

Arrangement of particles in liquid: due to weaker forces of attraction and higher kinetic energy, the packing of constituent particles in a liquid is less compact. The particles get packed loosely living large interparticle spaces. The particles are free to move within the liquid. However, they are unable to leave the boundary of the liquid. On account of loose packing of particles, the liquids are less rigid, posses no definite shape and can flow freely, i.e,liquid possess fluidity.

The arrangement of of particles in gas:

a) due to large interparticle spaces the gases are highly compressible.

b) due to high kinetic energy the particles are in constant, Rapid, and random motion.

c) the gases exert pressure due to continuous Bombardment of particles on the walls of the container.

d) the gases possess neither definite shape nor definite volume.
