Question

How do particles in liquids change their positions?

Answer 1

• Anything that occupies spaces and has mass is known as matter.
• For example - table, chair, air, etc.
• There are majorly three states of matter - solids, liquids, and gas based on the intermolecular distance between the constituent of matter.
• The molecules can move only when there are gaps or space between them, this space is called intermolecular space.
• The order of intermolecular spaces are - Solids < Liquids < Gases
• Since there are moderate intermolecular spaces between liquid particles. Hence, they have a tendency to flow and change their mean position.
