Liquids
Q. What are atoms of the same element called?
Atoms of the same element (i.e., atoms with the same number of protons) with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Most naturally occurring elements exist as isotopes.

Q. What do all atoms of one element have in common?
They come in different kinds, called elements, but each atom shares certain characteristics in common. All atoms have a dense central core called the atomic nucleus. All atoms have at least one proton in their core, and the number of protons determines which kind of element an atom is.
Q. Which bond is available in the three state of matter?
The three states of matter are: Solids: The strong bonds between molecules make solids rigid and very difficult to deform. Liquids: The relatively weak bonds between molecules allow liquids to be deformed without effort.
Q. Which state of matter spreads in all directions?
gas
Property | Why |
---|---|
Liquids flow and take the shape of their container | The particles can move around each other |
Liquids cannot be compressed or squashed | The particles are close together and have no space to move into |
Q. Which state of matter has the weakest attractive force?
(2) The extent of random thermal motion of atoms and molecules of a substance (which depends upon temperature). The Intermolecular force is strongest in solids and weakest in gases.
Q. Why can’t a liquid be compressed?
PARTICLES ARE CLOSE TOGETHER BUT CAN MOVE But they are free to move past each other. Because the particles can move, liquids don’t have a definite shape, and they can flow. Because the particles are still packed close together, liquids can’t easily be compressed and keep the same volume.
Q. Is liquid can be compressed?
A liquid is made up of tiny vibrating particles of matter, such as atoms, held together by intermolecular bonds. Like a gas, a liquid is able to flow and take the shape of a container. Most liquids resist compression, although others can be compressed.
Q. What is the most compressible liquid?
Mercury
