* Random motion: Liquid particles move randomly, constantly bumping into each other and changing direction.
* Fluid nature: This random motion is what gives liquids their fluidity. They can flow and take the shape of their container because particles can slide past each other.
* Vibrational motion: They also vibrate in place, like solid particles, but with greater amplitude and frequency.
Key difference from gases: While liquid particles move randomly, they are much closer together than gas particles. This means their motion is more constrained, and they don't travel as far before bumping into another particle.
