Study Notes
The Liquid State
- Liquids possess higher density compared to gases, occupying a specific volume and density due to van der Waals forces.
- Liquids are relatively incompressible, meaning their volume does not change significantly under pressure.
- As fluids, liquids do not have a definite shape, adapting to the shape of their container similar to gases.
- Transitions between gas and liquid states, as well as from liquid to solid, are influenced by temperature and pressure conditions.
- Cooling a gas decreases its kinetic energy, which results in a reduction in the velocity of the gas molecules.
- When pressure is increased on a gas, molecules come closer, allowing van der Waals forces to induce a phase change to the liquid state.
