Liquid
A
liquid is a nearly
incompressible fluid that conforms to the shape of its container but retains a (nearly) constant volume independent of pressure. As such, it is one of the four fundamental states of matter (the others being
solid,
gas, and
plasma), and is the only state with a definite volume but no fixed shape. A liquid is made up of tiny vibrating particles of matter, such as atoms, held together by
intermolecular bonds.
Water is, by far, the most common liquid on Earth. Like a gas, a liquid is
able to flow and take the shape of a container. Most liquids resist compression, although others can be compressed. Unlike a gas, a liquid does not disperse to fill every space of a container, and maintains a fairly constant density. A distinctive property of the liquid state is
surface tension, leading to
wetting phenomena.
