Liquid Phase
The liquid state of matter is characterized by its ability to flow and take the shape of its container while maintaining the same volume. Liquids have a fixed volume but no fixed shape.
The molecules in liquids are able to slide past each other, which gives liquids their flowing property.
Properties of Liquids

- Takes the shape of its container
- Can flow easily
- Has surface tension
Liquid Dynamics
Liquids demonstrate various behaviors and characteristics:
- Viscosity
