The properties of liquid crystals are intermediate b/w crystals and _.

Correct answer: A. Anisotropic liquids

  • A. Anisotropic liquids
  • B. Nematic liquids
  • C. Isotropic liquids
  • D. Liquids

Explanation

a) Anisotropic liquids Anisotropic liquids are liquids that have different physical properties in different directions. In other words, their properties depend on the direction of measurement. Liquid crystals share some similarities with anisotropic liquids because they exhibit anisotropic optical and electrical properties due to the alignment of their 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.
