Overview

Liquids are one of the three fundamental states of matter, exhibiting properties that lie between gases and solids. Unlike gases, liquids have a definite volume but no fixed shape, and unlike solids, their molecules can move past one another. These unique characteristics arise due to the balance bet

Key Concepts

These are attractive forces between molecules

These are attractive forces between molecules that determine the physical state and properties of substances. Types include dipole-dipole, dipole-indu

Vapour pressure is the pressure exerted

Vapour pressure is the pressure exerted by a vapour in equilibrium with its liquid in a closed system. It increases with temperature. Boiling occurs w

Molecules at the surface of

Molecules at the surface of a liquid experience a net inward pull due to unbalanced intermolecular forces, leading to surface tension. It causes liqui

Viscosity is the internal resistance

Viscosity is the internal resistance to flow of a liquid. It depends on the strength of intermolecular forces—stronger forces mean higher viscosity. T
