单词 liquid
释义
liquid

Physics
  • A phase of matter between that of a crystalline solid and a gas. In a liquid, the large-scale three-dimensional atomic (or ionic or molecular) regularity of the solid is absent but, on the other hand, so is the total disorganization of the gas. Although liquids have been studied for many years there is still no simple comprehensive theory of the liquid state. It is clear, however, from diffraction studies that there is a short-range structural regularity extending over several molecular diameters. These bundles of ordered atoms, molecules, or ions move about in relation to each other, enabling liquids to have almost fixed volumes, which adopt the shape of their containers.

These bundles of ordered atoms, molecules, or ions move about in relation to each other, enabling liquids to have almost fixed volumes, which adopt the shape of their containers. It is much more difficult to construct a theory of liquids than theories of gases or solids.


Chemical Engineering
  • A state of matter between a gas and a solid in which the molecules are free to move with respect to each other, but are held by cohesive forces such that they maintain a definite volume but not a fixed shape. There is still no simple comprehensive theory of the liquid state even though liquids have been studied for many years. Compare solid; gas.
