Compare with Definitions

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.

Pycnometer

A standard vessel used in measuring the density or specific gravity of materials.

Liquid

The state of matter in which a substance exhibits a characteristic readiness to flow and little or no tendency to disperse, and is amorphous but has a fixed volume and is difficult to compress.

Pycnometer

A vessel of precisely known volume used by weighing to determine the specific gravity or relative density of a liquid.

Liquid

Matter or a specific body of matter in this state.

Pycnometer

A specific gravity bottle; a standard flask for measuring and comparing the densities of liquids.

Liquid

(Linguistics) A consonant articulated without friction and capable of being prolonged like a vowel, such as English l and r.

Liquid

Of or being a liquid.

Liquid

Existing as or readily convertible into cash
Liquid assets.

Liquid

A substance that is flowing, and keeping no shape, such as water; a substance of which the molecules, while not tending to separate from one another like those of a gas, readily change their relative position, and which therefore retains no definite shape, except that determined by the containing receptacle; an inelastic fluid.
A liquid can freeze to become a solid or evaporate into a gas.

Liquid

(phonetics) Any of a class of consonant sounds that includes l and r.

Liquid

Flowing freely like water; fluid; not solid and not gaseous; composed of particles that move freely among each other on the slightest pressure.
Liquid nitrogen

Liquid

Easily sold or disposed of without losing value.

Liquid

Fluid and transparent.
The liquid air

Liquid

Flowing freely like water; fluid; not solid.
Yea, though he go upon the plane and liquid water which will receive no step.

Liquid

Being in such a state that the component molecules move freely among themselves, but have a definite volume changing only slightly with changes of pressure, and do not tend to separate from each other as the particles of gases and vapors do when the volume of the container is increased; neither solid nor gaseous; as, liquid mercury, in distinction from mercury solidified or in a state of vapor.

Liquid

Flowing or sounding smoothly or without abrupt transitions or harsh tones.

Liquid

Pronounced without any jar or harshness; smooth; as, l and r are liquid letters.

Liquid

Fluid and transparent; as, the liquid air.

Liquid

Liquid

In cash or readily convertible into cash without loss of principle; - said of assets, such as bank accounts, or short-term bonds tradable on a major stock exchange.

Liquid

A substance whose parts change their relative position on the slightest pressure, and therefore retain no definite form; any substance in the state of liquidity; a fluid that is not gaseous and has a definite volume independent, of the container in which it is held. Liquids have a fixed volume at any given pressure, but their shape is determined by the container in which it is contained. Liquids, in contrast to gases, cannot expand indefinitely to fill an expanding container, and are only slightly compressible by application of pressure.

Liquid

A letter which has a smooth, flowing sound, or which flows smoothly after a mute; as, l and r, in bla, bra. M and n also are called liquids.

Liquid
