Question

Which of the following best describes the particles in a liquid? A. far apart and easily compressible B. far apart and almost incompressible C. close together and easily compressible D. close together and almost incompressible

Answer 1

its C because a solid would be D but a liquid is condensed but not that condensed.

Answer 2

C. close together and easily compressible

Particles in a Liquid:

1. In a liquid, the particles are attracted to each other but not as much as they are in a solid. The particles of a liquid are close together, always moving, and can slide past one another compared to the particles in a solid or liquid, and are constantly moving.
2. In liquids, particles are quite close together and move with random motion throughout the container. Particles move rapidly in all directions but collide with each other more frequently than in gases due to shorter distances between particles.
3. The spaces between the molecules in liquids are large, so liquids have very high compressibility, thus Liquids are easily compressible.

Thus, correct option is C.
