At room temperature, 20°C, water (H2O) is a liquid and oxygen (O2) is a gas. Based on kinetic molecular theory, which answer best describes the states of the two fluids?

Question

superhelp101 · Answer

The particles in both substances are able to flow because of weak intermolecular forces.
 
The particles in the liquid have greater kinetic energy than the particles in the gas.
 
Water molecules have a lower boiling temperature than oxygen molecules, so at room temperature they exist as a liquid rather than a gas.
 
The particles in both substances are able to fill any container because both have indefinite shape and indefinite volume.

i think it is Water molecules have a lower boiling temperature than oxygen molecules, so at room temperature they exist as a liquid rather than a gas ??

Yeah, definitely. Water has a relatively high boiling point compared to other common substances.
