What is another example of a liquid?
Examples of liquids are water at room temperature (approximately 20 ºC or 68 ºF), oil at room temperature, and alcohol at room temperature. When a liquid is heated, the atoms or molecules gain kinetic energy .
What can liquid be described as?
A liquid is a nearly incompressible fluid that conforms to the shape of its container but retains a (nearly) constant volume independent of pressure. As such, it is one of the four fundamental states of matter (the others being solid, gas, and plasma), and is the only state with a definite volume but no fixed shape.
What are 2 example of matter that is a liquid?
Milk, orange juice, and water are examples of liquids. In the liquid state, matter has a set size, or amount. However, its shape depends on its container. For example, milk changes shape when a person pours it from a carton into a glass.
What are different types of liquids?
Liquids can flow and assume the shape of their container.
- Water.
- Milk.
- Blood.
- Urine.
- Gasoline.
- Mercury (an element)
- Bromine (an element)
- Wine.
How can you tell if something is a liquid?
The simplest way to determine if something is a liquid is to ask this question: If I try and move it from one container to another (i.e. by pouring), will it conform to or take on the shape of the new container? One property of water is that it conforms to the shape of a container.
How is a liquid different from a solid?
liquid are close together with no regular arrangement. solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern. Particles in a: gas vibrate and move freely at high speeds. liquid vibrate, move about, and slide past each other. solid vibrate (jiggle) but generally do not move from place to place.
gas vibrate and move freely at high speeds. liquid vibrate, move about, and slide past each other. solid vibrate (jiggle) but generally do not move from place to place. Liquids and solids are often referred to as condensed phases because the particles are very close together.
How are particles in a liquid related to each other?
The particles are touching but can slide past one another. The cohesive force between the particles in the liquid gives liquids their surface tension – the surface of the liquid acts like a thin elastic layer. For example, surface tension causes water to form drops and allows small insects to walk on water.
