Question
Liquids have fluidity and they do not have a definite shape. Explain.
✓
Answer
1. The forces among the constituent particles (atoms/molecules) are called intermolecular forces. 2. In liquids, the intermolecular forces are strong enough to keep the particles within the bulk in aggregation, but not strong enough to keep them in fixed positions. As a result, they flow easily and change shapes according to that of container.
