Which is an interesting thing, actually! States of matter are not related to the molecules themselves, but how they interact with themselves. It's an emergent property! Not something intrinsic!

Yup. The way he explained it was that it is technically a free flowing substance that is "expanding" to "fill" the container it is in. The density would be impossibly low, but the entire container would be said to be filled with the molecule

Is it not gas?

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago

that's fog

as long as you can still see through it, the water is gaseous

I think in the sense that it's not surrounded by water it's dry, but in the sense that it has water-like properties it is wet.
