Hello everyone. Today, we have the following problem using square pseudonym atoms of element A and triangles, pseudonym atoms of element B, draw a molecular level depiction of the compound A B in a liquid state. So to illustrate this mole molecular structure of compound A B, we will draw our squares as element A and then we will connect those squaress with triangles which represent element B and we will simply just draw a handful of these. And it's important to note that liquids, the molecules in liquids are very close to one another to where they're not sticking to one another and are thus able to slide past each other, we draw a couple more. And as you can see, these molecules are relatively close to one another and this allows them to slide to pass one another. And so with that, we have solved the problem overall, I hope is helped in the next time.
