What is the property of a liquid?

Properties of a Liquid: 1. A liquid has a definite volume. Reason: Intermolecular force of attraction is just strong enough to confine the molecules in a definite space. 2. A liquid has no definite shape and acquires the shape of the container. It can flow from a higher lever to a lower level. Reason: Intermolecular force of attraction is weaker in a liquid than in a solid. read more

The liquid state of matter is an intermediate phase between solid and gas. Like the particles of a solid, particles in a liquid are subject to intermolecular attraction; however, liquid particles have more space between them, so they are not fixed in position. The attraction between the particles in a liquid keeps the volume of the liquid constant. read more

If line TC is crossed by moving directly from point P to S, there is a distinct phase change accompanied by abrupt changes in the physical properties of the substance (e.g., density, heat capacity, viscosity, and dielectric constant) because the vapour and liquid phases have distinctly different properties. read more
