- A liquid is a sample of matter that takes the shape of a container in which it is held and which takes a defined surface in the presence of gravity. The term liquid is also used in reference to the state or condition, of matter having this property.
- The particles of matter in the liquid state are compressed as tightly as to those of matter in the solid state but the particles in a liquid can move freely among each other.
- The particles of matter in the liquid state are compressed as tightly as to those of matter in the solid state but the particles in a liquid can move freely among each other.
The physical changes of a state is called, 'Phase Transitions.'
