Matter {liquid phase} can be dense, flow, have local order several atoms wide, have long-range disorder between local-order regions, have no expansion to fill volume, have less than 3% compression, have translational kinetic energy, and have molecule interactions.
types
Liquids can be molten salts, metallic liquids, hydrogen-bonded liquids, or van der Waals bonded liquids.
cohesion
Cohesive forces can be ionic, dipoles, ions and dipoles, dipoles and induced dipoles, or London forces between neutral atoms. Internal forces can be repulsive if compression is high.
melting
Melting is similar to reaching elastic limit in solid under stress.
