Being one of the most important components of planet earth, the liquid is also one of the three phases in which matter can be found in addition to the gaseous state and the state solid. The liquid is always a fluid that can vary its shape depending on whether it is contents or not, in addition to always taking the shape of the container container (unlike the other two states). The molecules in the liquid state are therefore looser and freer than in the gaseous and solid states (medium and mostly compact respectively).
The transformations of the elements in a liquid state can cause that when they reach their boiling point, that liquid matter turns into gas, while if it reaches the state of freezing, it reaches the state solid. For each type of liquid, these freezing or boiling points will be different and this is a beginning basic used in different areas, for example, the gastronomy. On the surface of every liquid, a force or tension that is what makes the bubbles form and explode there.
The volumes of a type of liquid vary according to the result of its particular temperature and pressure. This not only changes according to the type of liquid but also to the specific state of the liquid and environmental conditions. However, under those specific conditions, the volume of the liquid becomes constant. The volume is also the Unit from measurement for all liquids.
Thanks to the fact that liquids have more widely spaced and free molecules than the other two states, there are in liquid elements the fluidity and viscosity conditions, both of which are related to the possibility of movement and permanent collision. This movement is always messy and becomes even more chaotic when the temperature of the liquid rises.
