which characteristics of liquids make it easy to transfer them one place to another?
Answers
Answer:
Heat transfer by the movement of mass from one place to another and can take place only in liquids and gases is called convection.
As convection is the mode of heat transfer caused by molecular motion and it takes place only in fluids (liquid or gases).
The physical property of liquids that makes them move freely from one place to another is called Fluidity.
The characteristics of liquids make it easy to transfer them one place to another are :
- Intermolecular Forces Of Attraction :
Liquids have intermediate intermolecular forces of attraction.These forces of attraction are higher than that in gases but lower than in solids.The attraction between molecules are weak enough that it helps fluids to move from one place to another.
- Intermolecules Spaces :
Due to intermediate intermolecular forces of attraction, the spaces between molecules are widened .Thus, these fluids do not have any rigid shape.They take the shape of container in which they are stored & can move freely when released from container.
