💧
liquified
[ ˈlɪkwɪfaɪd ]
state change
Liquified refers to the process of transforming a solid or gas into a liquid state. This process typically involves the application of heat or pressure. In science, liquification can occur during various phenomena such as melting, where a solid becomes a liquid, or condensation, where a gas turns into a liquid. Liquified substances are often easier to handle and transport compared to their solid or gaseous forms.
