True or False: Liquid oxygen should have a larger surface tension than liquid bromine (assuming T and P are the same for both liquids). False: Surface tension of liquids increase as Intermolecular Force strength increases. Both O2 and Br2 are non-polar molecules, and have only dispersion forces. Those dispersion forces are stronger for Br2, however, since it has many more electrons (70 vs. 16) than does O2.
Water is, by far, the most common liquid on Earth. Like a gas, a liquid is able to flow and take the shape of a container. Most liquids resist compression, although others can be compressed. Unlike a gas, a liquid does not disperse to fill every space of a container, and maintains a fairly constant density. A distinctive property of the liquid state is surface tension, leading to wetting phenomena.
