Why do solids maintain their shape, whereas fluids do not?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Wittaler [7]3 years ago

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In solids, the molecules are held more tightly due to the existence of strong intermolecular forces of attraction between its particles.

Hence, they have a definite shape and volume. So, these molecules are arranged in a regular pattern and they are able to vibrate at their position.  

On the other hand in liquids, molecules are slightly away from each other as they are held by less strong intermolecular forces of attraction. Hence, liquids do not have a definite shape but they tend to occupy the shape of container in which they are placed.

Thus, we can conclude that solids maintain their shape, whereas fluids do not because the molecules in solids maintain a regular pattern and only vibrate, or move very slowly.

Fireworks exploding in the sky and giving off light are an example of a(n) _____.
Serggg [28]
Exothermic change. Because the firework when it exploded, released energy in the form of light. In exothermic changes energy is released, and in endothermic changes energy is absorbed.

- This wouldn't be a physical change, but instead a chemical change. A clue that it is a chemical change is that energy was given off.

Pressure is this sample?
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

P = 164 Atm

Explanation:

PV = nRT => P = nRT/V

n = 10.0 moles

R = 0.08206 L·Atm/mol·K

T = 27.0°C = 300 K

V = 1.50 Liters

P = (10.0 mol)(0.08206 L·Atm/mol·K )(300 K)/(1.50 Liters) = 164.12 Atm ≅ 164 Atm (3 sig. figs.)

What is the oxidation state of Hg in Hg2Cl2?​
Anna [14]

Answer:

+1

Explanation:

Electrochemistry. In oxidation–reduction (redox) reactions, electrons are transferred from one A redox reaction is balanced when the number of electrons lost by the reductant Hg(l)∣Hg2Cl2(s)∣Cl−(aq) ∥ Cd2+(aq)∣Cd(s).

As is evident from the Stock number, mercury has an oxidation state of +1. This makes sense, as chlorine usually has an oxidation state of -1.
