Question:
List any five physical properties of liquids.
Answer:
- Liquids do not have fixed shape or boundaries.
- They have fixed volume.
- They exhibit fluidity i.e. they can flow.
- Less compressible as compared to gases but higher than solids.
- Lower density as compared to solids.
- Compared to solids, liquids have higher kinetic energy but less than gases.
- The intermolecular forces of attraction are weaker than that of solids.
- Show the property of intermixing i.e. can diffuse.
