9 Questions
What is the main difference between solid and liquid?
Movement of particles
What is the main difference in the particle arrangement between a solid and a liquid?
Solid particles are not free to move while liquid particles are able to slide past one another
What is surface tension?
A phenomenon caused by cohesive forces between molecules allowing liquids to create a thin film on its surface.
Which property is true for both solids and liquids?
Particle arrangement
What is the main difference in density between a solid and a liquid?
Solid has a higher density than liquid
What is a dipole?
When atoms share electrons unequally, creating a temporary separation of charge.
What is the main difference in the diffusibility between a solid and a liquid?
Liquids are extremely slow in diffusing while solids are not
What are London dispersion forces?
The weakest of all intermolecular forces, a temporary attractive force that results when the electrons in two neighboring atoms occupy positions that make the atoms form temporary dipoles.
What is the main difference in movement of particles between solids and liquids?
Particles in solids are not free to move, while particles in liquids are
