Question

Which postulate of the kinetic-molecular theory applies to the particles of a liquid?
A)They do not move freely but vibrate in a stationary position.
B)They can be compressed, which causes a large change in volume.
C)They have so much kinetic energy that their intermolecular forces are negligible.
D)They have enough kinetic energy to easily slide by each other.

Answer 1

i think its c. Idk

Answer 2

never mind its not c.

Answer 3

C would be for a gas

Answer 4

What properties do a liquid have do you think all molecules stay in one spot and vibrate?

Answer 5

If you compress a liquid does that lead to a change in volume?

Answer 6

well a large change in volume

Answer 7

the answer it depends on the liquid if I were to bet it is D)

A)They do not move freely but vibrate in a stationary position.-> this is a solid

Answer 8

"Liquids have so little empty space between their component molecules that they cannot be readily compressed. Compression would force the atoms on adjacent molecules to occupy the same region of space." durrr

Answer 9

it is D

okay thanks for the help.
