A liquid can easily change its shape but a solid can not because:
| 1. | the density of a liquid is smaller than that of a solid. |
| 2. | the forces between the molecules is stronger in solid than in liquids. |
| 3. | the atoms combine to form bigger molecules in a solid. |
| 4. | the average separation between the molecules is larger in solids. |
The properties of a surface are different from those of the bulk liquid because the surface molecules
| (a) | are smaller than other molecules |
| (b) | acquire charge due to collision from air molecules |
| (c) | find different types of molecules in their range of influence |
| (d) | feel a net force in one direction |
| 1. | (a) and (b) | 2. | (b) and (c) |
| 3. | (c) and (d) | 4. | All of these |
