â¢ LIQUID (noun) The noun LIQUID has 4 senses: 1. a substance that is liquid at room temperature and pressure. 2. the state in which a substance exhibits a characteristic readiness to flow with little or no tendency to disperse and relatively high incompressibility. 3. a substance in the fluid state of matter having no fixed shape but a fixed volume.
The term fluid and liquid are often used a synonyms, but a fluid can actually be liquid, gas, a mixture of either or both, a mixture of a solid in a liquid (a suspension or colloid), or even a solid. If it flows as a shear stress is applied-perhaps very slowly-it can be considered to be a fluid.Shopping List: Cornstarch; water; bowls or pans; spoons; straws; hammer; scissors; towels.
