14. Use the kinetic-molecular theory to explain why liquids are fluids, how liquids diffuse, and why they evaporate.

Liquids have more kinetic energy in their particles compared to solids. this allows the particles to move more freely, hence why they are fluids


Liquids diffuse from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration, until equilibrium is reached


When heat is applied the particles gain more kinetic energy so they now have enough energy to overcome the bonds holding them in the liquid. this means they can evaporate off
