What happens as a result of the kinetic energy of the particles in a liquid being comparable with the intermolecular attractions between the particles?
a the particles do not move enough to change positions, so the liquid is not compressible.
b the particles move enough that they separate from one another and take the shape of their container.
c the particles do not move enough, so they are fixed in place, and the liquid has a fixed volume.
d the particles move enough that they are not fixed in place, and the liquid can flow.

Answer : Option D) The particles move enough that they are not fixed in place, and the liquid can flow.

Explanation : The kinetic energy of the particles are allowed to move freely and are in motion when in the liquid state whereas the intermolecular particles can just flow; as the intermolecular attractions between the particles allows the liquid to flow by giving them a force to flow.

Option D) The particles move enough that they are not fixed in place, and the liquid can flow.

Explanation:

Took the test just now

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )
