Liquid Phase
The term "liquid phase" refers to one of the states of matter where a substance has a definite volume but no fixed shape. In this phase, molecules are closely packed but can move freely, allowing liquids to flow and take the shape of their containers. Common examples of substances in the liquid phase include water, oil, and alcohol.
In the liquid phase, the interactions between molecules are weaker than in the solid phase, which allows for greater movement. Temperature and pressure can influence the transition between phases, such as when ice melts into water or when water evaporates into steam.
