A student has two liquids, A and B. The table shows the freezing point of each liquid.
| Liquid | Freezing point (∘C^\circ\text{C}∘C) |
|---|---|
| A | 18 |
| B | -7 |
The student draws particle diagrams of both liquids, showing the particles as small solid spheres.
Explain which liquid has the stronger attractions between its particles, and why the student's particle diagrams cannot explain the difference between the freezing points.
