vätskefasen

Vätskefasen refers to the state of matter where a substance exists as a liquid. In this phase, molecules are relatively close together but can move past one another, giving liquids their characteristic ability to flow and take the shape of their container. Unlike solids, liquids do not possess a fixed shape, and unlike gases, they have a definite volume at a given temperature and pressure. The transition between solid and liquid phases is known as melting or fusion, and the reverse process is called freezing or solidification. The properties of a liquid are largely determined by the intermolecular forces between its particles. Surface tension, viscosity, and volatility are key characteristics associated with the liquid state. The study of liquids, their behavior, and their properties is a significant area within physics and chemistry.
