![]() If ice were denser than the liquid, the ice formed at the surface in cold weather would sink as fast as it formed. In fact, the ice forms a protective surface layer that insulates the rest of the water, allowing fish and other organisms to survive in the lower levels of a frozen lake or sea. Because ice is less dense than liquid water, rivers, lakes, and oceans freeze from the top down. ![]() The structure of liquid water is very similar, but in the liquid, the hydrogen bonds are continually broken and formed because of rapid molecular motion. composed of molecules that move freely among themselves but do not tend to separate like those of gases neither gaseous nor solid 2. Here are three-dimensional views of a typical local structure of water (left) and ice (right.) Notice the greater openness of the ice structure which is necessary to ensure the strongest degree of hydrogen bonding in a uniform, extended crystal lattice. liquid in American English (lkwd) adjective 1. Liquid soap definition: A liquid substance is in the form of a liquid rather than being solid or a gas. Think of a shearing force as a cutting action through a substance that causes it to flow continuously. The particles in a liquid are free to flow, so while a liquid has a definite volume, it does not have a definite shape. ![]() The molecules that make up the liquid can freely move among themselves. Liquid Definition A liquid is one of the states of matter. Because of that, gravity makes liquids always take the shape of the container. 1 Every small force makes a liquid change its shape by flowing. a substance that is a liquid at room temperature and atmospheric pressure 3. Any material that flows continuously when a shearing force is applied is a fluid. Liquid has an almost-fixed volume, but no set shape. a substance in a physical state in which it does not resist change of shape but does resist change of size. : a fluid (as water) that has no independent shape but has a definite volume and does not expand indefinitely and that is only slightly compressible. ![]() To define a liquid, we must first define a fluid. : having the properties of a liquid : being neither solid nor gaseous. \): Three-dimensional views of a typical local structure of liquid water (left) and ice (right). By the scientific definition, peanut butter is indeed a liquid. ![]()
