  • A. Molecules are surrounded by solvent molecules
  • B. Ions are surrounded by solvent molecules
  • C. Both ions and molecules are surrounded by solvent molecules
  • D. Both ions and molecules are surrounded by water molecules

About Properties of Liquids

Liquid behavior depends on intermolecular forces, which produce surface tension, viscosity, capillary action and a definite volume without a fixed shape. The topic also covers vapor pressure, evaporation, boiling point and the effect of temperature and external pressure, while distinguishing evaporation at the surface from boiling throughout the liquid.
