Question

According to the kinetic theory, which statement about liquids is correct?
Options
A Liquid particles vibrate and rotate about a fixed point
B Liquid particles move about constantly at great speed at random
C Liquid particles vibrate and move about within a restricted space
Correct Answer
D Liquid particles have no kinetic energy
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Liquid particles vibrate and move about within a restricted space. They have enough kinetic energy to slide past one another but are still close together, giving liquids a definite volume but no definite shape.

Hint

Liquid particles can move but are still constrained by intermolecular forces.
