ELICIT
Why are the particles of the substance
very far from each other?

The attractive forces in liquid particlesmay

bestronger than that of gas moleculesbut

What phase of matter
does this illustration
they are weaker than that of solid
represent?

LIQUID

How will you describe the

intermolecular forces of the particles?

The intermolecular forces of a liquid

particles are in between the gas and
the solid particles forces. It is stronger
than the intermolecular forces of gas
particles but weaker than that of the
solid particles.

What will happen to the
paper clip when placed in
the water?
Which liquid will flow
slowest when poured?
Which bottle will
produce sound when
opened?
What will happen to the ice
when it reaches 100 ֯ C?
Which substance will
evaporate faster when
rubbed?

EXPLAINATION
Force from the surface
tension in water causes the
attraction of the molecules
on the surface of the water.
Among the liquids, the
syrup is the most viscous
which results to a high
resistance in flowing.
Due to the temperature of
the hot water, vapor
pressures are produced
inside. Upon opening a
bottle with hot water, the
vapor pressure will escape
and produce sound waves.
Upon reaching 100 °C, the
vapor pressure
becameequal to the
pressure in the
surroundings. This resulted
to a change in matter
phase.
The intermolecular forces
ofattraction in an acetone is
stronger than that of the
water. Thismeans that the
acetone has a higher heat
of vaporization than the
water, enabling it to
evaporate faster when
rubbed.
