Question

Which of the following statement is false about liquids?

• A. They are almost incompressible.
• B. They have very loosely packed molecules.
• C. They do not have a fixed shape.
• D. They have a definite volume.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

They have very loosely packed molecules.

Characteristics of liquids

1. Intermolecular distance is more than solids but less than gases.
2. Intermolecular force of attraction is moderate i.e. less than solids but more than gases.
3. Molecules are loosely packed.
4. Liquids are almost incompressible.
5. Liquids do not have a fixed shape.
6. Liquids have a definite volume.

Hence, option (b) is correct.
