Questions and Answers
The constant motion of the particles in a liquid causes the liquid to take the shape of its container.
True
At room temperature and one atmosphere of air pressure, the density of a liquid is much greater than that of its vapor.
True
Liquids are not easily compressed because their particles are loosely packed.
False
A liquid is less fluid than a gas because intramolecular attractions interfere with the ability of particles to flow past one another.

Study Notes
Liquid Properties
- Liquids adopt the shape of their container due to constant particle motion.
- At room temperature and one atmosphere of pressure, liquids have a higher density than their vapor counterparts.
- Liquids are incompressible because their particles are tightly packed.
- Intramolecular attractions do not hinder the flow of particles in liquids; rather, intermolecular forces do.
- Stronger intermolecular forces lead to higher viscosity in liquids.
- Increased temperature decreases liquid viscosity, enhancing particle flow.
- Liquids capable of hydrogen bonding exhibit high surface tension.
- A liquid's rise in a narrow glass tube indicates stronger adhesive forces with glass compared to cohesive forces among the liquid particles.
Solid Properties
- Solids maintain a definite shape and volume due to limited particle motion, which consists only of vibrations around fixed positions.
- Most solids are denser than liquids due to closer particle packing.
- Crystalline solids feature particles arranged in a regular, repeating geometric pattern; rubber is not a crystalline solid but an amorphous solid.
Key Definitions
- Meniscus: The curved surface of a liquid column.
- Viscosity: A measure of a liquid’s resistance to flow.
- Surface Tension: The energy needed to increase a liquid's surface area.
- Surfactant: Compounds that reduce water's surface tension.
- Crystalline Solid: A solid with an orderly arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules.
- Unit Cell: The smallest symmetrical arrangement of atoms in a crystal lattice.
- Allotrope: Different forms of an element in the same state, such as carbon.
- Amorphous Solid: Solids lacking a regular repeating particle arrangement.
