Question

Using the kinetic particle theory, explain why a) Liquids have fixed volume but not fixed shapes b) Ice has a higher density than water vapour.

Answer 1

Answer:

a)The kinetic molecular theory in liquids is more than of solids hence they are in montion. so the volume of liquid molecule has definite volume but no definite shape

b) Ice has higher density because the molecule of ice are tightly packed and water vapour molicule are loosly packed that makes them to fly in air.hence the density of ice is more than of water vapour
