Abstract
For most gases and vapours their molecules are largely free to move about the vessel containing them, and they do so with great speed. In liquids, however, the molecules are still moving about but with much reduced speed. The molecular movement is much more restricted in the liquid state than in the gaseous state. Individual molecules are continually under the influence of attractive and repulsive forces of neighbouring molecules.
